    So sorry to hear about your loss Braves.

    She sounds like a helluva person. It's nice to have such great memories. I'm gonna miss mine but hopefully that will be many years away.
     
  3. Sorry Braves to hear of your loss. Any relationship between and mother and her children is very special. My mom and I are not just mother and daughter, we are best friends. If I lost her tomorrow, I don't know what I'd do. She's the one I turn to when I need a shoulder to cry on. She's also the one that shares my love of football. (I know that's probably a first...a mother and daughter both with the love of football!). Just know that Mom is in a good place and that she obviously loved you and your siblings while she was here. Hang in there.....we're all here for you!

    Edit for grammatical errors!

    My thoughts and prayers are with you Braves. Mothers are the most special blood kin. They always know what's best. For 42 years I never really understood my mother until I had my heart attack and subsequent seperation of my wife. Mom stood by me foricbly, mightibly and most definitely lovingly through all of it the past 20 months. She's hung tough with me through everything and I don't think I could've survived without her.

    God bless her and you as well Braves. She is watching over you now in peace.

    Braves you are in my prayers. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. 7 kids, oh my. It sounds like she had a very fulfilling life and she was blessed.

    I am not real good with knowing what to say in a situation like this, so I'll stick with...Sorry, for your loss.

    Just a word of advice, don't mourn her death so much. Rather, celebrate her life.

    I don't know about any of you, but times like this when someone you know loses a loved one, especially mom or dad, makes me realize how much I take for granted. I still have both parents and I moved 800 miles from them 4 years ago. I spent the past 10 years trying to be independent and away from them. My older brother always seemed to be closest to them and after he married, he bought a house near them in the next town over. I have not been close to my family since I left.

    My mom recently discovered that she had a tumor in her stomach and she would need surgery and many further examinations afterwards. Mrs Photo and I packed up our 2 year old and flew to Chicago to see my family while everything is going well. Good news is that the tumor was malignant but the doctors will continue testing and doing scans and a bunch of other stuff.

    Growing up, I never thought about my mom and dad going anywhere... a kid just dosn't think about things like that. I always thought they would be there for me and grow old like my grandparents. I don't know how I would handle losing my parents. I personally don't deal with stuff like that very well. Hearing about someone's loss gives me a reality check and I realize that any of us can go at any time and I am grateful for every day God gives me... even with all the crap I have to deal with on a daily basis, I am happy to be alive. Life is too short to get pissed off and stressed out over stupid little things. Live life to the fullest while you can and value everyone who's in your life and let them know they are loved... don't wait till it's too late.

    Braves - I'm sending out a prayer for you and your family and your mom. She must have been a really special person in your life. Never let go of all the things she gave you and taught throughout your life. She is now in a good place looking down proudly on you and your family.

    so sorry, braves. so deeply sorry.

    i know the day will come for me. it will take everything my mom has taught me to help get me through it. there will be an unfillable hole left in my heart, my mind and my soul when she's gone.

    when i lived in charlotte, i talked to her alomost every day. now, of course, i see her every day. it's a blessing. i hope i am able to comprehend the magnitude of that gift while she's still alive.

    again, i'm deeply sorry. grieve as you must.
