I knew when my parents got older that things just would....um....I guess just not work the right way & there would be more and more calls about doctor visits & stuff like that, but I did not anticipate this. I got a call from my mom last night...again. My Dad was at the hospital....again. :( He was having sever chest pains....it wasn't a heart attack, it wasn't a stroke, perfectly clear tests....so is this a side effect of the Parkinsons? What is THIS? It is so hard to watch your Dad be in such pain all the time & there not be a clear answer for it. Yes Parkinsons is there, but its many things...things they can't figure out. I think what makes it so much harder too is the fact that I'm sitting on my comfy couch in Virginia knowing that I could be in Colorado sitting in the waiting room with my mom....who now by the way, has shingles because of all the stress of dealing with things with my Dad.
Oh Lord. Help me remember my post from yesterday. You DO hear us, you do hear our cries & our prayers.....all in all we want your will to be done, but would you, could you please, just give us a glimpse of you in this too. Please.

Jan, I understand this far more than you realize. If you ever want a sister to just sit in "knowing" with you, please call me. It's hard when your parents are ill, unwell and there's nothing that physically we can do. It's a terrifying and weak place to be.
I love you.
Amanda
Thank you Amanda. Love you!
