While I've been gone

Congrats.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I know it will rack my brain, but I've made it through worse. So far this has been one hell of a year. I can't wait until next year.
Here is where this started 3-4 weeks ago (Been back from PA for a week and a half):
When I bought the 4 wheelers in Feburary. The weekend before Valentines day. I got one for me and one for my wife (for V.D.)..... Keep this in mind.
About 3 weeks ago, my half sister calls me in a panic. (A little history, mom has had 3-4 heart attacks and smokes like a chiminy. Dad has been gone for 3 years.) Mom is in the hospital. (Friday night) Keep in mind, I don't very often panic. (thank you Uncle Sam) She is heading for Erie on Monday to see the heart specialist. Saturday afternoon.... Aparently mom has had 4 or more heart attacks since October. (still Saturday) Now she is on her way to Erie, via ambulance for emergency check up. Sunday, the panic has calmed as the Dr. has decided to go ahead and wait untill Monday to check things out. Mondays options, open heart - mom has Austio Perosis - Open heart, not going to happen. Pace maker, or internal Defib. 25%-50% of her heart is dead. The 3 stints they put in several years ago are 100% clogged and they can't do anything about it. There are 2 arteries that are 98% clogged. They put in a defib, and she was home by Wednesday. They have given her 3-6 months. We are headed back to PA in 3 weeks to make sure her final affairs are in order. Otherwise, I will have to do it after she dies.
Back to the 4-wheelers.... I get them home, and make some space in the garage and basement. It is still cold and I don't want them stored in the trailer during winter. This was on Thrusday........... Saturday I get the "good news" She is due October 3rd. Looks like I bought a 4 wheeler for nothing. It wasn't a surprise or anything, she knew what she was getting. She even went with me to look at them, and pick out the one she wanted.
For the final straw...... I gave my 2 weeks notice at work today. I think everyone had gone home for the day when I sent it out, as I am still here. They tend to let people go as soon as 2 weeks has been given. We don't have any work after the first or second week in May, and it doesn't look like any is coming.
Later,
Steve
