Friday

I talked to my mom!! She finally had the breathing tube removed from her throat and sounded good. She told me that the heart that was now beating on it's own in her chest had belonged to a 22 year old man from West Virginia. She added that I shouldn't be surprised if she started smoking pot and drinking beer. . . funny. I am flying out late tonight on the red eye and will be in Pittsburgh for a few days. It's been a year or two since I've seen my mom, but we talk almost every other day. I love her very much.

My step sister Mary Martha (who has been there for almost a week) sent me this pic.
