I won't be around to blog the next few days or so. We just got a call that my mother in law's cancer has taken a major turn for the worse, so we are all traveling up to see her. Me, Jim, Aunt Vicki and Uncle Frank are driving together and leaving in about an hour, and all the cousins are going up later this afternoon. She has a "do not resuscitate" order on file as she doesn't want to be connected to machines to keep her alive, and Jim and his cousin Tracy have the primary and secondary powers of attorney, respectively. I pray that she finds peace whichever way things turn for her. Tracy is a nurse and says that there is very little chance she will make it past the next two days, however, based on what's been happening. She is on morphine to keep her comfortable.

About Me
- I love to knit and sew, although not as obsessively as I used to. Now I'm more focused on quality over quantity as I have less free time to work on crafting now that I have started a new, more demanding (but rewarding) job. I'm RobinM on Ravelry and RobinMCPA on Twitter if you want to stop by and say hi!

Oh no! You guys are in my thoughts for sure. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be for Jim if he has to sign those papers. Take care you guys.
