Prayers and positive thoughts coming your way, Sir !
You looked a little like Duane Allman. Better teeth, though.Look at these two! Yep, that's my hair, alright. Was heavy like Absalom, lol.

How very apropos, ETLS. Good reference. Like I said, whatever else happens, I'm free of the hate that has filled me for so long. Even today, I tried discussing it, and instantly choked up. Had no idea how much power my own burning rage had over me.The rain fell slow,
Down on all the roofs, of uncertainty.
I thought of you, and the years and all the sadness
fell away from me
And did you know
I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes.
I remember that dark time for you. I rejoice for your wife's healing, friend.My wife was cured of cancer, by surgery, last fall. It very nearly killed her, but she is nearly back to her old self - the strongest woman I have ever known.
AKers' prayers and best wishes helped me through a very scary time. I pray for a similar recovery for you and your mom. Sounds like it's happening.
Good news about your sister, too. Hang in there.
The magical, wonderful thing is that Mom sees us building bridges, and I know that has been a motivator.Good luck with your Mom. Going through the same with my Mom. Try to stay calm with your sibs, if for no other reason than your Moms sake. No bickering your Mother does not want to live that.

Absolute best to you and your own mother, mgkfifty.
Thanks, @mech986 and @Te-Te for your kind words.
Mom continues to heal, and even cooked a roast on Sunday. Sis has been getting her medications lined up for her, and so whatever befalls us next, at least I have reconciliation with my long-wayward sibling.
Oh, and last Thursday, I made it official, and got Power of Attorney, even got it entered into the records at the Courthouse, so if stuff hits the fan, I can be in charge. Sis asked "Will you cheat me out of my half?" to which I replied, "No, I will prevent your half from being wasted, and ensure it is safe from everything and everyone, including yourself. As God as my witness, I'll not steal as much as a penny from you."
She simply smiled, and said, "Okay."
There's a change, I see it. Plus, ran into a cop buddy, who had visited sis's house a month back (big disturbance with her baby-daddy) He told me, "Timmy, we tested her on the spot.....she's clean."
Like I said before, I am gunshy, but I think she might just have a handle on her demons.
Thanks again, everyone. You all are the best.

You need to set up a trust fund.
We failed to do this, it may wipe out my retirement badly. It may sound selfish, but my mother usually doesn't think past her nose.
But I have mental issues that are almost. but not quite, debilitating. It's a bitch working with, and for, normal people; they jack with freaky people like me. I couldn't establish a decent career. I didn't have a retirement account until I was 50 years old. Holding on to a job is real hard for me.
