7. Thank you. My parents lived out in the boonies in the Ozarks, all by themselves, miles from anywhere, 20+

miles from the nearest town. I always worried about them. And the sad thing about it was that when my Mom had an event (we think it was a stroke, we don't know), she slipped and fell outside in the dark, wasn't found until the morning. She was found by a neighbor's kid that morning, but the damage was done. It had rained all night too, a minor rain, but still...

It was horrible to think about here being out there all night. And the kicker was, we had convinced my brother to move there and live there, just to keep an eye on her. He was just about to.
