In about 4 hours exactly I will have gotten a phone call to go the rest home where my dad was, he's dying. A little less than 3 hours of all of us sitting around him, watching him struggle to stay alive, he will take his last breath and leave us all. I will have spent the rest of the day in the mortuary, then awake all night at his wake.

Its my cousin-brother's birthday, as well as my nephew's...but just not a good day like it was before.
