When 6885=1,000,000

Yesterday mom had her 4th operation in a year.  All serious. All have gone badly.  She sits in a medically induced coma 6885 miles away...feels like a million.  

Cheerful young girls laughing and screaming "hello teacher", boys screaming and wanting high 5's.  How do you tell them how you are feeling? Of course, you can't...they would not understand what I am saying.  I am just pretending that all is ok while inside nothing could be farther from the truth.
