    Losing my mom soon.

    My mom is slipping away from us, I figure she's waiting for my brother to come up from Houston. She has too many issues and just isn't strong enough to fight them all off, she's no fighter anyway. She's 79, raised three good kids (or at least two) and has been blessed with grandkids and a couple of great-grandbabies. She's been in a nursing home for longer than I could possibly endure and has been a good sport about it.
    I'd appreciate you keeping my family in your thoughts & prayers, some will be travelling and we'll all be missing a sweet little lady.

    God be with you and your family. I have lost all parents and most relatives. It is hard to say goodbye.

    They are never really gone as long as you remember!

    Peace be with your mother and family, safe journey to those on the road.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.

    I pray for an end to her pain and illness, and for strength and peace for you and yours. She's glory bound. Remember HE said whom so ever shall believe in me shall not perish but have life everlasting!

    Are my kids/grandkids more important than "o"'s kids, to me they are,darn tooting they are!!! They deserve the same armed protection afforded "o"'s kids.
    I have been hoodwinked but not by"o"
    In God we trust,in "o" never trust

    She will never truly be gone as long as she lives in your heart.
    I lost my son two years ago today from an auto accident, he was twenty-four. I miss him terribly, but he lives on.
    I pray for you and your family.

    TxGunNut, I cant begin to say how sorry I am for what is happening to your mother. I will pray for her peace and you and your families peace as well. Been without my parents for a while....If you are ever in East Texas I will buy you breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.....if you need help all you have to do is ask you Cast Boolits Family and they will take care of you....Paul

    Prayers sent. Be thankful for the time you have. My Mom went without warning and there was so much I didn't get to say.

    Thanks, Paul. Don't get out your way much but I'd sure like to meet you as well. Would be my pleasure to have you as my guest for a meal or at least a cup of coffee next time you venture to the metromess. I've only had the pleasure of meeting a few CB folks but they're truly good folks.
