Very sorry for your loss, but am sure your mother is at peace now. My mother and dad are both long gone from this world, so i know how it feels to lose those closest to you and much of what you and the family are going through.
God bless and keep you all!
Thanks, guys. Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me and my family at this difficult time. Yes, I lost my mom today but we know there are things worse than dying and what she endured these last few weeks I wouldn't wish on anyone.
We had a little fun today; my mom will be buried in a nice red two-piece skirt/jacket outfit, lacy blouse....and some of the most colorful sneakers my sister could find.She was famous for her sneakers around the nursing home, I'm sure she somehow had a good laugh when we delivered those to the surprised young man at the funeral home.

Today was one of the toughest days my brother, sister and I have ever been through. By the grace of God and with the support of family and friends we made it through OK. Thank you all for keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Please keep my family in your prayers until they all make it safely home.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
Yesterday was one of the best of my life, I rashly invited 15 or so over for a BBQ lunch before they headed home and almost all showed up, lol. It was very nice enjoying a good meal and conversation with folks I don't get to see often enough. I may live alone but I can easily seat (and feed) up to 20 with no crowding issues. Outdoor kitchen was barely above water but it all worked out fine.
Today all my guests are on the road, in the air or already back home so it's nice and quiet around here. Took a nap after lunching on leftover BBQ and it felt good.

Today I remembered a conversation I had with my mom a year ago this week. I'd gotten in the habit of preparing a special meal on occasion and her birthday (February 20) was coming up. I asked her what she'd like me to make for her. I can't recall her answer (lasagna maybe?) but I'll never forget the question she asked me. She asked me if she was going to be 80. I paused, up until a few weeks before she was sharper on this type of subject than I was. I finally told her that no, she was going to be 79. Another long pause. We both knew she was running out of birthdays.
I know some "firsts" are tough but quite honestly I wasn't ready for this. I've been a mess all day.
I have a levergun range trip with my buddy planned for tomorrow, a nice older Citori to shoot and plenty of other things to keep me busy. I'll pick up some flowers and lasagna makings on the way to the cemetery tomorrow.
Was re-reading all the nice posts a little earlier tonight, want to thank you all again for the thoughts and prayers. If you can, hug your mom tomorrow.

I understand . Lost my dad in 88 and mom in 92 , I truly miss them . I wish I could sit down and talk to them over coffee for just an hour but I wouldn't bring them back to this place . They achieved victory over this world , they are in a beautiful , wonderful place now . But I will see them soon . Life is but a vapor , it will not be long before I will be with them forever.
Tx, you never really "lose" your Mom or Dad. They just stay with you in a different form. It's been 16 years since my Mom died, but she talks to me often. I can feel her perched on my shoulder, whispering in my ear, "Now you know what you need to do. Just do it." With Dad, I just feel his gaze on me, and sense him saying, "OK, boy. Whacha' gonna' do now?"
It's amazing when they pass how you finally realize just how powerful an influence in your life and on your mind they've been. Really makes a fella' humble, and SO appreciative! The words "pass it on" will never have more meaning for you, and you'll never speak the words "pass it on" again without a deep feeling of respect and gratefulness rising up within you.
They raise us, shape our lives and character, and then make their exits, and are just loving and humble enough to be humbled and appreciative themselves for the opportunity.
Then, when you realize that not everyone has been lucky enough to have had good parents, and how blessed you were to have been one of the lucky ones, you'll never again be able to be anything but truly humble and thankful. It's just what good parents do to us.
Prayers sent to you and your family.
What Blackwater and Boaz said are true...the best monument you can build for your mom is to live as she raised you! My parents have been gone for quite a while now and yet I think of them almost daily.....they are still there to guide me on the difficult problems....just open up your heart and listen....they will guide you brother! Paul

Sorry I missed this when you posted it. You've learned by now that with time, God allows those fresh memories of the last days to be replaced with the treasured memories of a lifetime. It's never too late, prayers sent for you and your family.
