Mom's death from lung cancer is so very imminent; you can just tell by looking at her. She was tiny (4'10") to begin with, but she has now lost SO much weight, she's at only about 85 lbs., and she looks as though she's 'knocking at _____'s door' right now :''( Also, it turns out that she only carried $10K in life insurance, which just will NOT even 'cut the (financial) mustard' in regards to her final expenses, and with me on reduced disability income and husband functionally unemployed in spite of many years' experience in IT AND a Master's Degree in Software Engineering from DePaul University in 2008 (lost his last full-time IT job as a Senior Programmer/Analyst a month after 9/11/01!!!). I am asking for prayers for my Mom AND my husband, and not for myself (in spite of my own very serious illness, current chemo for same, etc), because they need prayers much more than I do. God Bless All of You in advance, and Happy Holidays 2010
