I'm writing this on Friday evening, December 24, 2010. I'm sitting on the couch in my parents Illinois home. I arrived in Illinois on Wedesday morning 12-22-10.Many of our friends and family have known that my mom has been very sick since early September. My dad left it up to me and my brother Billy and sister Lynnellen to come out to Chicago only if we had the time.
I thought about squeezing in a very quick trip, but I just couldn't find a time where I could be away from my own children. They've just been so busy with school and skating. We had one obligation after another. When Junior Nationals ended last week, I realized that there were two weeks ahead of me without obligations.
If I wanted to see my mom before we lose her, this was the time. So, here I am!
My mom still seems to know who I am. She gave me the okay to take a video and photos of her.
The kids and Dan are back in Colorado at the Schneider family vacation home. I miss them, but I'm glad I get to see my mom and my dad.
Dan lost his father on February 22, 2010. Some of our other friends also lost a parent in 2010.
Thank you to everyone who has been thinking or praying for my family during this difficult time.
