Wow, 14 is so young. Goodness. I was fortunate to have my mom until I was 18, though she was very sick for many years before she passed from Lupus.
Pb-didn't mean to hijack your thread; sometimes that happens, that's why I put your post in the prayer thread. It's more serious there.

And everyone who prays takes a gander in there, they may not respond but know there are many good people praying for you, your friend and her mom.
