Have you called your mother lately?
 

If not, you should, just to tell her you love her and appreciate all she's done for you. You never know when someone may be on their last day and you may miss that chance to tell her.

I lost my mother on Tuesday and spent the weekend at the funeral home, I can only wish that I called her a little more often and made SURE she knew just how much she meant to me.

Call her now, and let her know, as fucked as it is, it will make me feel better and may be your only chance.

Love you Mom.

good call

sorry to hear. went through that shit a few years back. not fun.

let me add that i am very sorry to hear of your loss, stand strong

Sorry man.

My condolences,I almost lost my mom due to heart attack.

Im sure your mom knew how you feel, and even if she didn't then, she does now. :)

I'm truly sorry, didn't call home for a week :(

Sorry to hear bro.

Yeah, toughest thing I've ever had to deal with. My kids are devastated.

Thanks very much, and give her a call if she is still with us.

My mother had a genetic heart condition she just found out about, back 14-16 months ago, it's also what took her at a young age of 57.

She did know, I was never shy to tell her, it kills me that her youngest grandchildren will not remember her and all she did for us (her family).

I was supposed to call her back on Tuesday at supper time (I cut off our call Monday cause I was working). Before I could call I got the call saying she had passed. Not sure if I'll ever let myself off the hook for it, but I guess time cures all wounds.



So I'll say it again, give your mothers a call, even if it's just to chat.

So did you call them?

Thank you man.

I remember your post about your mother passing, it brought a tear to my eye and I remember thinking, how the hell I would even be able to deal with it.

Right now I'm just holding strong for my sisters/aunts/kids to make sure they all get through it, if I wasn't I'm not quite sure what I'd be doing to cope.

Thanks for your post.

Definately do that.Both of my parents died within 3 years of each other and I really didn't realize how important they were to me till they were gone,and nonone can replace them.
My baby boy is named after my father and he didn't really get to spend time with him...So I make sure i tell him stories about Grandad and that kind of helps me.
I'm sorry for your lost.

I'm sorry for your loss.

If you want to talk, my contact info is on GWH. And yeah, 57 is way too young.

d'uh, my mom just recently had several surgeries ... skin cancer :( shit keeps comming back and seems to slowly eat mom up ... she is 81yo now and totally clear of mind ... but, she keeps saying "lemme quit" ... it breaks my heart to hear her say that :( feel with ya dude; no person is more important than mom will ever be ... sigh

Over the last few years my relationship with my mother has strengthened to the point that we talk on the phone almost every day, and even though I am on the road almost year round for my expedite business when I am home I live on the same street as her. This is after a lifetime of talking maybe once a month and a really difficult relationship when I was a teenager. I am truly thankful that we are able to have this type of relationship now. I am very sorry for your loss...

That is heart felt...

sorry for your loss.

Sorry man. And thanks for the heartfelt reminder.

So sorry for your loss. You were lucky to have her as long as you did and I'm sure she knew that you loved her. I lost my mom at 21, when I was too young and stupid to realize how important she was in my life. I'd give anything on earth to be able to spend just 5 minutes with her now, to tell her how much she meant to me and how my life was never the same once she wasn't in it any longer. The day she died, my childhood ended, because no one has ever taken care of me or been there for me like she always was. But I think that mothers know and I can only hope that she saw past my arrogance and selfishness and knew how much she meant to me. RIP.

will do tomorrow, it's 4:00am there right now

Sorry for your loss, I lost my mom at the end of May.

I'm sorry for your loss Jdoughs.
I lost my mom at the age of 57 too - a couple of years ago. It's way too young, but losing your mom is hard whatever age they are.
I wasn't there when my mom passed because I was working away. I would have been there the next day and it still cuts me up to think of that now.
I'm truly sorry.

Wow man.. I'm sorry to hear about this. This is a great loss. :( If you need someone to talk to I'm here for you. 57 is young.

Nope, Mom and Dad have been dead almost 20 years. I still dream about her and Dad.

Dear Jdoughs,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of your mother. I know how difficult this must be for you.

P.S.

Thank you for buying text descriptions from me a few months ago.

Fatfoo

Very sorry to hear, Im definatly going to give my mom a call tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your loss JDoughs. It must be tough.

Yah I call my mom every month or so. I have a daughter so you gotta keep her in the loop too.

I had a similar experience losing my Mom at a young age.

Trust me, your thoughts expressed here, prove that you were a good son, and your Mother knows that you loved her in life, and you love her still.





I am an atheist, but I pray for my Mother everyday, because she was a Christian, and I loved her so much... :)

Be strong,

ADG

ahhh shit that sucks man

sorry about your loss and all the best for your family

Sorry to hear that.

Best wishes to you and getting through this.

Thanks a ton guys, just call, I'm not much of a sappy guy and certainly not very emotional, but I feel like there is nothing I can do and THIS seems like it will make a few moms happy.

Yngwie, I'm in town til Tuesday and we should meet up even if just for coffee.

oh man..that is hard...sorry for your loss :(

Sorry to hear that, you have my condolences.

Thanks again and bump for some more calls home.

Sorry for your loss. And thank you for the idea.

Sorry to hear that man, hold tight my prayers are with you. I've moved to closer to my parents recently because of age.

melissa's and my condolences to you jdoughs.

My mother passed a little over 3 years ago now. I still catch myself reaching for the phone to call her once in awhile....

Take Care!
