Back In India

Hi to all,
Well I came home 2 weeks early because my mom is very ill. I was home on the 6th and Paul and I started to get things in order for my mom and dad. She is resting comfortably now with Hospice in place and a private visiting nurse. It did not seem like I was home a month, there was so much to do and very little time was spent with Paul or my kids. I will say I'm happy that my mom and I got to spend this time together. The Dr's are sure she will not make it till June. We said our goodbyes and we both felt at peace with everything we put in place. It was not the break we had hoped for. I have a wonderful husband who has taken on so much while I have to be gone. Paul did have a surprise Christmas present for me which was way over the top. We have a tradition of seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra every year, but I was not home in time so he flew me to Denver to see them. It was a great time especially since we did not get that much time together. I ended up spending time at the local Starbucks to meet with friends and visited my old school, it was nice to see everyone. I got back to Chennai on Jan 7th, Domenic and I were glad to be back. I'm all unpack, went to the school today and did some shopping. I'm ready to see those smiling faces on Monday. Happy New Year to everyone!
