2004-08-04 & 2:24 p.m. : the stronger of the two holds her head 5 feet high.

my father was admitted to the hospital last night.

i just hope my mother's ok.

my father's been sick for so long, i hope this helps him get better. or no. he probably won't ever be better.

but at least, more alive? maybe more comfortable?

the hardest part of hearing the news was hearing how disoriented he was. he kept asking my mother to take him upstairs to bed--he didn't realize he was in the hospital, he thought he was in our living room.

poor sick daddy. poor alone mom.

i have some time off next week, maybe i'll see if my mother wants to fly me down.

she needs the support.

and i need to hug her.
