I cannot imagine what you went through with your mom disappearing like that! Her overriding concern for your father became greater than her own well-being. I'm glad to hear you found her and that she might be in a better frame of mind today.
And remember.. you are part of her gene pool. The way she handles things was your role model in how to address issues.
I'm sending thoughts and prayers for your dad and family. Waiting is so difficult, as is worrying. And yet, you still have him, even with his illness. Being able to savor his presence is a beautiful thing in the midst of worry and chaos.
Your spouse was able to be your husband in the hospital. A source of support, someone you turned to, let your guard down and relied on. You were a priority over everything else. Actions.
