April 9,2026,Thursday morning, 5:15am mountain standard time,condo in Evanston,Wyoming,USA. Yesterday when I arrived in town my mom greeted me with a broken finger and a black eye. Apparently she fell exiting a store. We drove to the hospital. Her finger is broken but no concussion or damage to her head/face. I know she doesn’t want to come live with me or move to California but the time has come. We need to be closer so I can help in times like these.

April 8,2026,Wednesday morning, 5:45am, pacific standard time,Long Beach Airport, Long Beach, California, USA. Heading out to visit mom in Wyoming. She needs help with her taxes. I tried calling yesterday, twice. I also sent her a text but she didn’t respond . My uncle said he talked with her and she mentioned I was coming out. So at least she remembers that. We are going to have to figure out a better way to communicate. I am not sure how things are going to go in the near future, especially with her living alone.
