I just got a message from my mother. Dad is fading fast. He's in the hospital but has lost 11 pounds in the last two weeks. My brother is headed out there to try to help. Dad is very weak and sleeps most of the time. My sister, the doctor, talks to Dad's doctor all the time. She is monitoring things from Montana. She says Dad's doctor is doing a good job. The problem is Dad. He has given up and only wants to fade away. So I might be coming east sometime this summer. Maybe I can shake some time loose to visit some of my old friends. It would be a quick trip because I need to be here for my classes.
