My dad has been sleeping in impossible chairs and uncomfortable cots beside my aunt, his sister, at both the hospital and the acute-care facility. He's coordinated her care, talked with my uncle and cousins, tried to make her comfortable and kept her company.

And then what does he do? Someone asks about me and he says, "We better get up their to get Mama Hungry some relief from doing everything!"

So both my parents will be here next week, which I am hoping is a relief for them, too. In other words, I don't want them to work too hard but just to relax with the grandkids.

And we'll drink to Aunt Sis, too.
