If you can spare a thought or prayer...

If you can, please take a second to send some thoughts and/or prayers towards the 'Burgh.

My dad's only sister (only sibling, in fact) passed away on Saturday morning. She was 85, and had been in poor health for about 10 years (since a fall, in which she broke a hip), so it is, in its own way, a blessing.

Then, to make things worse, dad himself fell on Saturday night. Turns out he was (again) dehydrated, and that exacerbated his own mobility problems (which he's had since his back surgery about 3 years ago). No major damage, thank goodness...he didn't break anything, or hit anything important. Only his pride was really hurt, but he's in the hospital for the dehydration (and should be back home tomorrow or Tuesday...in time for his sister's funeral on Wednesday).

So, this hasn't been a great weekend, so I (and my family) could use some good thoughts. Thanks in advance.

You got 'em. I hope things improve soon for your dad, and I'm sorry for the loss of your aunt. --Bob

Honey, lots of thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

And hugs for you. I wish I was there to give one in person.

So close your eyes KT, and feel me giving you a hug.

Somehow, that is okay.

Having my own parents of similar vintage and with similar issues, I'll include your dad in my ongoing thoughts. Hope he rebounds and enjoys a good quality of life for his remaining years. Best wishes.

Here's hoping he holds up. That they were able to diagnose & treat the dehydration is in its own way a good thing coming out of a bad thing.
