(And let us know about the Carnegie Hall event, please.)

at 3:00 p.m. on October 26, 2013. It is with a group out of Iowa that she plays with. She is a classically trained flute player. She does not earn her whole living as a flute player. She is a librarian, as I was. Professional music is a tough way to live, and few people make the big bucks. But she does quite a few concerts.

My extra positive thoughts for your dad and brother. I hope everything comes up good for you in the end.

May your mother find the peace and kindness in her heart and spirit to allow you to see your father.

Peace and love on this next stage of your dad's life. Blessings to all. Take care and many hugs.

send you blessings for you and your family. It's difficult ENOUGH without having some of the relatives intending to do what they can do to stir things up instead of letting love and harmony in.

hugs to you and your family.

sorry for the edit, I must have added a word wrong...best of luck to you

My mother is determined, now, to keep my brother away. She says he has bedbugs. There were bedbugs in his building TWO YEARS ago. Last summer, when he had his big toe amputated, I went to his apartment and cleaned everything for him. I used my vacuum cleaner, my bucket, rags and cleaning supplies. I did not bring home any bedbugs. My husband did his dishes and cleaned his refrigerator. My son did his laundry. None of us got bedbugs!

She is determined to find a way to be nasty. We will get in, one way or another.

Bless you. That's a lot of stress at one time.

While your mother is not there. Is your dad aware.? I had a horrible mother too.

(((((cyber hugs))))))).
All you can do is breath a lot...and slowly.

and at peace.

And congrats on the upcoming weddings and celebrations!

I knew he would. I have had the same surgery, both eyes.

We are all going to see my dad on Monday. We do not live that close, so we are taking two cars to see him. My son and his wife will go later, the same day. My oldest daughter is the only one who has to wait a few days. I think there may not be more than a few days. This is best. His body has worn out.

Many thanks to all the caring people here.

Glad to hear your brother is doing well.

There's always so much movement in a family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you muriel.
