I just got a call from Moma. She was cryin' and said "Jim, I sure do miss you. Can you come visit me?" If she makes it to January 5th, she'll be 95. I'm goin' to Charleston friday mornin' to spend the day with my Moma. This lead business will be right here when I get back.

Spend as much time as possible with her. That's worth more that all the lead around. I wish I had more time with my mom. I think of her just about every day. Godspeed and be safe.

We buried my Mom on Monday. Cherish every moment you can, because she will be gone too soon.

My Mom died at the age of 50 from lung cancer. I kick myself thinking about the time I could have spent with her and didn't. God Bless you for doing the right thing,

My Mom passed over in 1972.

I had a dream about her night before last.

She will never leave you. She will always be there.

BUT: That is certainly not a substitute for face-time. Spend every moment you can with her.

Like the resst have said, your priorities are in the right place - go see your momma while she's still around. Lost mine to cancer in 1983, she was 3 months shy of 57. My dad passed away 4 years later, almost to the day. I pray for them and thank God for them every day, even though they are already with Him. We will be here when you get back from your visit. Stay safe and have a good visit.

Jim you are a good man and a good son. You are doing it for "mom" at the moment, but later on you will see that it is also for "you". Good going. Have and good trip and enjoy this time you have.

First off thank your mother for the great job she did in raising a son like you and sharing her beliefs and values.

Before you leave give her a BIG hug for me as I can no longer do that to my own mother.

Keep us posted

One of the sadist and happiest memory of my MOM is the last time I spoke to her I kissed her forehead and said Love you see you later. Then left to come home to my wife and kids.Clint
