I got your earlier message but did not have time to write with a busy morning then having to take Julie back to the doctor at lunch time.  I had to drive home to get her (20min), drive to the doctor(20min) see the doctor (20min), eat lunch then take do it all in reverse. I didn't get back to work until 2:30.  Julie is doing fine, she has to look down at her feet for a couple of days and can't see out of the eye because of the gas they put in it.  The doctor says she should fully recover.
 
When I got back I saw your message about your mother.  I hesitated in replying today because I didn't know what to say but thought it best to say something.  I know you had mixed feelings about going to see her and now with her gone you I would imagine some of the feelings you might be having.  I have not experienced loosing a parent yet but did just go though it with Julie last year and know that it can bring out all sorts of emotions and feelings, good and bad.  Having it happen just before the weekend at least gives you some time on the weekend to deal with it all.  Some people need time alone and others need someone to talk to.  I hope if you need someone to talk to you have someone there you can turn to.  I hate to cut things short but I have to go.  Till Monday.
