Josephine, sometimes you are as Cold as Ice giving me a Sleepless Lullaby

Josephine, sometimes you are as Cold as Ice giving me a Sleepless Lullaby

For those of you paying attention, the title of my posts are made up from the titles of the songs I play. But the title also mirrors my life as well. My Mom, Josephine, is a widow, is very sick, but stubborn as hell. She insists on living by herself 30 min away from me. My brother and sister not only live further away than I do, but they make little effort to help out. So, lately I have had many sleepless nights bringing her back and forth from the hospital, spending entire days in the emergency room, begging her to move closer to a place she can be taken care of... while all along being subjected to some of the best Italian guilt and screaming a 75 yr old woman could deliver. My music helps me deal with this torture. Enjoy
