Thank you for this I needed it.  I just got back from rushing my gf to the emergency room.  The same hospital my mom went to a week before the died.
Edit:  Just got a call and it was only a kidney stone.  Which in it's self still sucks balls.
Woah. I'm sorry about your mom, man. May she rest in peace.
Kidney stones suck, but thank God it's nothing worse. I hope your gf's feeling better.
You must be having a nightmarish week. I'm glad this could ease your stress in some small way.
