I keep saying I am going to write about all of the things going on in Graceland. No time like the present I guess.
When life becomes overwhelming I try to compartmentalize everything and address things by their order of importance. It usually works for me but the [...]
My mom is back in the hospital again. She is really not doing well at all. They are saying it’s either congestive heart failure or pneumonia. Either way for someone her age it is not a good prognosis.
