The Saturday night before I was supposed to leave we had a family dinner at my parents house. My sister, her husband, my niece and nephew, my parents and I. I got very emotional when I hugged my mother goodbye. She is older and has had Parkinson's disease for over 10 years and is developing dementia. When I realized that it may be the last time I ever saw her I started sobbing in the porch.

I already had the trailer attached to my car so I was driven home by my brother-in-law....
