"Mom sounded better yesterday. I don&amp;#039;t know what caused the change, I don&amp;#039;t know if it will last, but she felt better. Just better. Her voice sounded strong again. We made stupid, stupid jokes and laughed hard at them. She didn&amp;#039;t fall asleep while conversing. We talked about the news a little. She had not been interested for days, and her voice had been slurry and slow. She had my brothers and me very worried. And then, somehow, the sun shone again. Was it too many drugs, or not enough drugs? Was it this pill? Was it that pill? Water pill? Heart pill? We debated the reasons from phone call to phone call; how can we begin to control this, how can we control that? We can&amp;#039;t. I&amp;#039;ve decided to take this good day out of the blue and place it into a pocket in my little pink heart. When you take life one day at a time, odds are that at least some of those days are going to be good ones. Yesterday was one. Hoorah. D.G.
