Times like this make you really think how much FAMILY means. Hope the best for your mother and a speedy recovery. Be there for your father as he is the one who is affected the most. I lost my father 5 years ago, and if it wasn't for my 2 brothers and I to help my mom with support, she would probably not of made it thru the very emotional time. Once again, good luck with everything and enjoy the time with your folks as this is a great time for family members to bond.
