Kiss your Mom

[CMonster]

This is not a prank post because of Upcoming Mother's Day:

On 4-25-2001, 9:30PM, My mother died from massive heart failure while in the hospital with a bout of pnemonia -she was 64 http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif


Frankly, she was a terrible mother to her 5 children but a GREAT grandmother -She will be sorely missed.

We were not close, and I had not spoken to her in months -I didn't even know she was ill - I was going to call her... I was going to call her.... I had really meant to call her....

My deepest condolences.

I lost my father when I was 5. A totally different scenario for losing a parent, but I can empathize somewhat.

Sorry to hear that :-( Wish i could think of something sympathetic to say. I dont know you, but that dosent stop death from sucking.

[Richard_Cranium72]

Oh Man, two days ago, you must surely still be in shock..

My deepest sympathies,

For what it's worth, she raised a fine person.
I've seen you in action here for the better part of two years and you have the ability to keep cool when under fire.
Obviously she passed genes of intelligence, character, honesty and wit down to you.

Our family has similar circustances as yours, I can relate..

prayers to you and yours

I can well feel your grief, C monster. I too avoided contact with my mom for years but fotunately was able to be there close to the end. May she rest in peace. Our prayers are with you.

Pickel and family

Thanks to all; your words have been very comforting.

Thanks again.

Sincerest condolences, CMonster... a similar thing happened to me 3 years ago http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

There aren't many words for such a situation... you tell people and they just don't know what to say... we all react differently to these things, so you just have to deal with it in your own way...

However you deal with it, don't let yourself get cut up with regret... it'll just eat you up http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Thanks for the reminder. Just sent mom an email. It takes so little to make moms happy.

Sorry for your loss.

[NDC]

Yeah, I'm very sorry to hear that.... I know how heart broken you must be... It's really hard losing a family member.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Hang in there in these tough times.

My deepest condolences CMonster, by the way, how did you get you mom to use e-mail Steve, the only way my mom e-mails is if i'm actually there, I've been helping her e-mail dad while he's over in galipoli( he's a big warbuff and been wanting to do this all his life), heh, now that's he's there for 7 weeks I seem to be recieving above and beyond the usual hug quota from her lately.

[DaveLewis]

I lost my mother back in October of last year. We lived about 1500 miles apart but e-mailed almost every day. When mom passed away my sister inherited her computer and printed out about 2 year's worth of e-mails (mom NEVER threw anything away) which she sent to me. The e-mails weren't anything significant, just silly little messages, jokes, "how are you today?", that sort of stuff. I still cry when I read them.

Sorry to hear that CMonster http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

My condolences to you and your family.

I kissed my mom today when I left her house which is 5 hours away. I can't picture her being gone. But you have a family here from all the people who posted to your message. I have never seen so many "Ultimate,Administrator, Moderator, Senior and Members" reply to a post.

Hope I go before my mom! And yes I'm an old man in some eyes!

[Warthog]

you have a family here

That's darn right.

A Sad trip.

I have just returned from my Father inlaw¡¦s funeral. They left the lid off of the casket for a viewing. I held my Wife¡¦s hand and then my Daughters hand and listened while they told, in tears how much they loved their Grandfather and Father. You see he didn¡¦t believe any one loved him anymore and died that way. We believe in the resurrection and therefore know we will see him again but that does not soften the blow of the very unnatural thing of death. The lesson learned by this is if you have not told your family (loved ones) you love them You may and will regret it. And if they don¡¦t want to believe you for whatever reason then you may have to go out of your way to prove it. DON¡¦T LEAVE IT.

Thanks for the reminder CMon.

My Mom is 85 years young.

And I'm tearing up...

[Thud]

My condolences, CMonster. Your loss serves as reminder to all of us as to why there's a Mother's Day in the first place, and this one will sure mean a lot more. To me at least. I'm really glad to say I'll be seeing my Mom in a couple of weeks... you can be sure I'll give her a kiss!!

Take it easy.

[BBA]

My condolences to your yours and wife's family turbo.

[turbo]

Thanks BBA. I have passed them on. This just shouldn't happen.

Empathy is important and there seems to be a lot here. Chin up CM turbo. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[CMonster]

Thanks again everyone.

You bring me to tears a little but they are tears of joy in knowing that so many have been moved to express appreciation and offer comfort to those people who make our lives special -while we still have the opportunity.

..And I do feel that you all are family in a remote sort of way.

Thanks.
