This is one of those times when I'm not sure what to write. The size of my audience is causing me to wonder. Most of you are probably here to read about my insider thoughts about Microsoft or the tech industry, or because I find cool links to various tech industry things.
But, life is intruding here and it's my personal blog, not a PR vehicle, so gotta push those worries to the background and just write about what's going on in my life and let the chips fall where they may.
We saw my mom yesterday (all three of the Scoble kids arrived at the Billings airport at the same time, which was pretty weird considering we were flying from three separate cities).
When we first saw her, she opened her eyes, stared strongly at us, and had a tear in her eye. She vigorously squeezed our hands. That comforted all of us. A little.
Well, I won't bore you with the emotions I'm feeling. Or the decisions that are going to start coming at us (we're meeting with her doctors today).
I did want to thank everyone for the very kind notes. About 150 comments, all of which were very kind. Many phone calls. Many emails (including emails from people who work for our biggest competitors). This stuff really makes times like this a lot easier. I'm going to read them to my mom (finding what to say to her is really tough).
Needless to say that the next 48 hours probably won't see much blogging.
A little technology note (you know I couldn't resist) the machines that are keeping track of her vitals and helping her breathe are running Windows. Yet another demonstration of just how many machines Microsoft's software is running on.
I’m so glad to hear that you all were able to get out there to be with your mother. I doubt there is anything more important that they three Scoble brothers do right now than to be with each other and your mother.
BTW I checked your blog today because I wanted to hear how *you* are doing. Thanks for letting us know. I think a lot of people are keeping you and your whole family in their thoughts and prayers these days.

As someone who lost his mother at 21, I’ll never forget how it felt her last days at the hospital.
Each case, is a separate case. And my prayers are with you and your brothers/sisters, I trust everything will turn out alright in the end.
Independent of the situation, try to enjoy the most possible with your mother, let her know your feelings and let her confide hers.
Because, no matter the outcome of this difficult situation, its these last moments that will truly last in your hearts.
In holland we say “betterschap!”. In portuguese we’d say “melhoras!”.
My thoughts are with your mother and her kids.

Robert, by all means…please use your blog to write about whatever is going on with your life. We don’t read because we exclusively want to read about Microsoft or tech — we read because you’re an engaging writer with an obvious passion for what you do. You could write about mosquitos in Cambodia and I would still read, because it’s not about the content — it’s about the delivery.
My prayers are with you and your entire family right now.

Robert, thanks for sharing.
Recently, as I’ve been working through some changes in my own life and health, I’ve been realizing how precious each day is.
Thinking of you and praying for you and your family. Hugs to you all, from Bainbridge to Billings.

“Well, I won’t bore you with the emotions I’m feeling.”
Isn’t blogging about personal connections and interactions between feeling people rather than sterile, emotionless monoliths?
Emotions aren’t boring; lack of emotion is.
