So since our homies Benwahwah, Winnson, Vutu and others have recently written about their recent experiences with dying parents, I thought I'd get on the bandwagon and keep the train rollin
Got a ticket to fly out Thursday to see my mom who is being destroyed by ALS. She is in amazingly good spirits, but my brother says come sooner than later or I may not recognize her.
I don't know how my Dad is with it all, we're a bit distant and he doesn't say much personal. We'll see how that goes
My brother also is recovering from a hellish marriage separation, he was right fucked up for a while but seems to be doing much better. Still carrying a heavy load but is doing all the right things imo.
All this has happened in the past year and I haven't seen them the whole time, just talking on the phone. So I guess I gotta go see them.
In a strange way, the ALS and nasty divorce actually kind of put my family back together, before that for decades we were all really distant. Will be maybe the first time the 4 of us are all together in more than 20 years
Wish me luck
