What this feels like.
My mom is in the living room not far from the tree we put up for her
in a hospital bed in her last days.
She sleeps 90 percent of the time.
Cant do anything for herself.
Nothing.
My parents had their beliefs but never forced us to be anything.
My dad left us in 2000.
Its the saddest christmas in my 60 years.
