She passed away May 25th. I have been preoccupied with trying to take care of her for the last two years, more so the last 6 months. I have not been here much during this time, though I don't post much anyway. She is in a better place. She would have been 91 July 3. Thank You...

G-D bless her and you. You're a good son and she did a wonderful job raising you.

I am glad your mother is at peace. I lost my mother about 5 years ago at age 80. She taught me a lot in life, how to live, and of course actually gave me life.

I can remember her dancing with me as a kid around the kitchen table singing "Your Cheating Heart" by Hank Williams. She really enjoyed being a mother and was good at it.

Condolences.

Sorry to hear about your Mom but glad she's now at peace, looking down and thinking what a great son she had.
My Mom is 88 - right now she's in pretty good health (but has to use a walker to ambulate) and still mentally sharp --- but know that all can change, unfortunately, in an instant.

I could tell so many stories about mom "looking after bob' it ain't funny. But it is funny. We will hold that back to another time.

Sir, you were really blessed to have had her for 90 yrs. I am glad you were able to spend her last days with her. May God be with you, she is with him already.

Sorry about your loss!
It is always hard even though you were expecting it.

My Father is LONG gone (30 years) but my Mom continues on. She will be 95 this July and runs circles around her sons which range from 60 - 68 years old!
She has bounced back from a near death Stroke and she just goes and goes!

I expect this to all end soon but for now........

Dave
