That is good to hear about your daughter...even if she may have another hospital stay, if that helps her in the long run, then she is better off dealing with a little more discomfort now..
I am really sorry to hear about your dad...sounds like he went out on his own terms. I think that is all any of us can ask for. *hugs* Unfortunately, employers like that are few and far between...

We laid my father to rest yesterday, for those of you that haven't been following my facebook ramblings, he passed away last Saturday from complications due to Pneumonia. He was comfortable and didn't suffer, and he still had his dignity, which is what we all wanted. We had a small family ceremony where my father's ashes were interred with full military honors. We'll do a memorial service sometime in May. I can't say enough about how supportive my employer has been, alot of companies would respond to all this with "Do you have enough vacation time for this" Fig Leaf has responded with "Go take care of your family". My family and I will get through all of this, we're a tough lot of Scotsman, lead by a matriarch who is tough as nails. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335513 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
