I'm taking a trip out to Nebraska to see my mom for her final days. Pray for me and my family and/or light a candle.

Oh Keith ... that's difficult at any time, but especially during the holidays when we're supposed to be celebrating life.
My thoughts go out to you and your family ...

Re: Non-Scuba Related...
I just lost my mom a few months ago, so best wishes and enjoy your last time with her.

Our prayers go to you and your family. We remember when we walked this road. It was hard in some ways and glorious in others. May you and you family have peace.

Sorry to hear that Keith. Prayers are on their way. Safe travels.
Re: Non-Scuba Related...
So sorry, Keith. It's good you get to go see her. I was able to see my dad before he died by hoping on a plane 2 hours after I received the news that he was going downhill. It was wonderful to be able to talk to him. But when my mom was dying, I was driving cross country to spend some time with her. I got there before she died but not before she went into a coma so didn't really get to say good-bye in person. It saddens me that we didn't get to have one last talk. My thoughts are with you.

Keith: I offered a prayer during my morning devotional, and will continue to do so. I also canceled my plans to dive tomorrow so I can take my mom to lunch.
