I am so sorry Tom. I hold you in my heart. All of the day to day crap goes on as it always will. But the people we hold dear to us are what really matters and makes us whole. In my profession I’ve seen the heartbreak of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The full impact didn’t hit me until experiencing them with my family. My brother-in-law has Parkinson’s, and my Mom has Alzheimer’s. Mom remembers that I’m a nurse but not always that I’m her daughter. I’m with you on the god BS. And since I’m not great with words I will let George Carlin speak for me. Take care Tom and give Jurate a hug for me, even though she doesn’t know me, I’m more real than the guy in the sky.
“But I want you to know something, this is sincere, I want you to know, when it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really, really tried. I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the résumé of a Supreme Being. This is the kind of shit you’d expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently-run universe, this guy would’ve been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago. And by the way, I say “this guy”, because I firmly believe, looking at these results, that if there is a God, it has to be a man.
No woman could or would ever fuck things up like this. So, if there is a God, I think most reasonable people might agree that he’s at least incompetent, and maybe, just maybe, doesn’t give a shit. Doesn’t give a shit, which I admire in a person, and which would explain a lot of these bad results.”

Carlin as always is great and right on. Thanks!
Good luck to you with what you face in your family.
Thank you so much, and my best to you as well.
