Rip - Mom

[Sam]

We all have a path to walk and when it ends it is harder on those we leave behind than on us.

 

You should be very proud of how you assisted your mother for those years. I know we on the Forum salute you for doing all you could for her. You are a special guy.

 

And yes, it will be hectic for a few weeks and you will have to do things you don't want to do but such is life and we all continue down our own paths.

 

Thoughts and prayers to you and the family.

 

The baton has been passed to you. Kind of scary when you think of it.

 

Take care and know that we are behind you 100% at this sad time in your family's life.

My condolences, LE. My grandmother passed under similar circumstances, and what appeared to be on her own terms.

RIP.

Sorry for your loss. She was happy by your side. Keeping her close was the best thing you ever did for her as your son. You're a better man than most people out there for that one gesture. Keep your head up and stay on top of your health for you, and possibly children/grandchildren.

I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers at this time. 

 

From the very start of this, I tried my very best to do what I thought was right for my mother, and now that she has passed on I know that she is in a better place.  The pain is gone and her memory is restored.  I know that my final duty to her is to follow her wishes for this time.  She wanted a small family memorial and for her cremains to be put near my grandparents in the home of her birth, and this shall be done in the spring.  In the meantime I will perform those duties that an executor/trustee must do to though I'm already sure that some will not appreciate those efforts.

 

And then it's time for me to turn my attention to the other most important woman in my life.  Jackie will finally retire on September 14th and I hope we can figure out how to enjoy ourselves and maybe leave a dollar or two for our kids when we are gone!

 

A final thought, on dogs.

 

This furry little beast that for the last three years looked at Mom as her very own Grandma Jo.  She is completely lost, and it breaks my heart to see her mope about the house.

"The pain is gone and her memory is restored".

So very well put, and now is the time to celebrate mom's life.

What you do now is you carry on your Ma's legacy as best you can.

You make decisions with your heart, do what you think she would want and do.

I went through the same not long ago.

You want to make the right decisions, but you don't know what those are.

Some may think I'm crazy or foolish but I believe that when a parent passes they still watch over us.

Listen to her, she'll guide you.

Sometimes she'll be hard to hear but in your quiet moments you'll understand.

May she Rest In Peace

Prayers for her and your familY.

Mike
