Could be a tough holiday

as my Mom has been diagnosed with liver cancer, on top of the breast and pancreatic cancer she has fought with over the past two years. She can't be treated aggressively due to her miriad of health issues, so it's just a waiting game now. Makes my wondering about paying bills and putting things under the tree this season seem a bit less important. I really feel for my younger sisters family, as they just burried her husbands mother a week ago and the kids didn't take it well at all. I'm just hoping that one more Xmas comes and goes first, so I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed, in addition to some other measures.

You and I think alike my friend, cold as #^&#^&#^&#^& today, but it took my mind off of other things. Even the fish were feeling the cold, but 30+ felt they needed to say hey and I dropped a nice 34 inch fish at the boat.
