Just got back from Islip, NY, out on Long Island for the funeral of my mother's Aunt Rose. She was 87 and in poor health, but it's still rough - particularly for mom. My mother's parents were horrible to her, and the extended family - both hers and my father's, took on very important roles in her life trying to make up for that. Between Sarah and Rose, this has been a hard month for her.
