You know you are getting old when 7pm is late... but I concur, (mostly). haha!
Sorry to hear everything you have been through, I can relate acutely to how draining it is. My mom went from hospital to hospital... and we also eventually got her into a hospice which thankfully allowed us to see her daily. It was only for 10 minutes a day.... but at least we DID get to see her for the last two weeks of her life.
We, (my brothers and I) considered doing the same thing for my mom (re. private apartment).... but the problem in this country is there is so much "hatred" among races, that we decided against it because we were scared about how she would be treated "outside of camera view". It happens even in the FINEST of establishments here.... and it is shocking!!!!! We experienced that with my gran...
The acceptance that there is no "way back" is a big pill to swallow... your situation sounds EERILY close to what we all just went through. She went from completely capable, cooking ,gardening etc... and within days... she was in unable to speak, was incontinent and in nappies, and then began literally starving herself to death because of the kidney failure.
There is NOTHING that could prepare a person for that. Take your time - STOP!!! just STOP! Take a moment to absorb and appreciate the time for closure. Many people do not get that opportunity... so as hard as it is to see her in that state, remember what a blessing it is! Focus on the good and honour her in whichever and whatever ways you can!
I am a month and a half into losing my best EVER friend... it is not easy, so just remember to go easy on yourself. It comes in WAVES... I am one to focus on the positives and there are many moments where I can hear my mom tell me "to get the bloody hell on with it"... I have no doubt that you are much the same @theycallmedan.... but just remember to "take a moment" to be real with yourself too.
Thoughts are with you, your wife and your family.
In lighter news... CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on your news!!!! No doubt your kiddo will be a force to be reckoned with and you will make amazing parentals!!!!
Much love to you both!
Welcome back. Good on you for doing right by your mom. Too many people in this world see their parents as nothing but a burden.
Sorry to hear about you mom! You are doing everything in your power so she can be happy and mothers deserve that. They dedicated countless of hours from their life to their children.
Congrats for your baby Dan, you are gonna be an awesome father for sure!
Cheers man!
Hi Dan, this shows that you are a good son and therefore a good father, I hope that winds of peace or hope blow around you. Hugs
Bet You are happy to be back home.
It's a little bitter sweet, but yes it is nice to be home for a bit. I missed my gatos
Thanks for bringing an update on your mum, it's suprising how one learns a lot when you go through experience with having to take care of your sick family member then. But then old age comes with a lot of challenges. It's great you can check her once in a week at least. I'm happy to hear that your wife is finally pregnant at least a good news in these trying times and then being active here as well is a blessing. Thanks and take care. Cheers.

Glad you're back and everything is now okay.
100% agree with making curation rewards flat, it will allow people to vote what they enjoy.
Also agree that removing the global reward pool should come after SMTs in order not to rock the ship too hard.
Common sense is here when you're here.
We're so happy that you're back.
It's super important to take care of your family and your mum.
Congratulations on the good news about new member in Dan's Family :)
My thoughts are with you. This is a difficult journey of sad endings and happy new beginnings.

Force! I know your situation is not easy, but you are doing your best and that is admirable. Take care of yourself and continue loving your family.
Btw, I am grateful for your support always!
@theycallmedan
Getting rid of the reward pool is a nonsense idea. What is even the logic behind it? Less inflation equals higher token price? Stake holders should want higher inflation because it allows them to leech value from the users who are actually trying to use Hive as a currency and keeping their assets liquid.

The people who think they want to get rid of the reward pool are going to end up losing money and then reimplementing the reward pool. We are just going to end up looking like flip-flopping toolbags. These witnesses need to stop messing with our economy over and over again. The diminishing returns created from our lack of stability will hurt us more than anything else.
Thanks for the update man, it was good to hear from again after a while. And congrats on the big news! All the best to you and your wife, you will be amazing parents :) Oh and say hi to my beloved Mexico for me please... Spent two years of my life there.
Get your mom out of there and have her move in with you.
Also, have you looked into MMS (miracle mineral solution)? That stuff CURES/HEALS pretty much everything. And yes, I purposely used words that would piss off the FDA but, it's the TRUTH.
ps. Congrats on the new addition to the family. May s/he become a mighty warrior of God and a habitual blogger on Hive :)
Congrats , it must feel weird that it is bitter sweet , but we all are in those vibes .
