<S> to my Mom
« on: September 24, 2005, 04:18:50 PM »
Not much to say really. My Mom passed away at 1:55 this afternoon. She was with all of our family. I held her hand as she took her last breath. I had proised her I would be there and I was. It was beautiful. She opened her eyes , looked at me and my Wife , brother and sister and a single tear came from her eye and she closed them and took her last breath.

She battled cncer hard for a long time. She is in a better place. I take solice in that.

to you for being there and honoring her wishes.  I don't know if I could handle watching my mother die.  At least you can take solice in the fact you got to say good bye.  To many people greive for too long because they don't get that oppertunity when they experience a loss.

Redtop, it was good you could be with your mom to see her through to the other side. I'm sure she took great comfort as she saw her loved ones gathered 'round her. Smile, as you recall the good times. And make more good times with your own family whenever possible. That'll be her legacy, as well as yours.

Sorry for your loss. I know she is no longer suffering and you can take comfort in that. Your being there was a great gift for both you and your Mom. That took a lot of courage and stamina on your part. Prayers still OTW.

Condolences Redtop,

You've got a strange road ahead of you coming up. I went through the same thing earlier this year... and still going through it...

She'll always be with you.

Redtop I believe firmly that the tear you saw from your Mother's eye's were not of fear, or sadness. It was the fist time she saw the face of God. I know that'd bring a tear to my eye.

Mommatop God's speed. Redtop my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm sure your mother was very happy that you and your family cared for her in your home. Proud of you, Red... .

I know you already know this, but I'll remind you anyway: she lives forever in you, and your children, and your grandchildren. As a parent, you know that she wants you to enjoy your life and be happy.
