I have been on leave from my job for the last four plus months - under Clinton's Federal Family Medical Leave Act... Or whatever it is called...
Lost my Dad since then and am now taking care of my Mom. Day to day. Yeah it has been tough. But hey. Life has to move on. Until you experience it you don't really understand the ramifications - and life - and the cycle.
Anyway. My best to everyone here. I haven't forgotten anyone here.
