Folks, call your mom......I will never be able to again.....

[MedStudent 56]

Sorry to hear about your loss. She will always be with you and your son.

Agreed, thanks for sharing. You are one of the true real people here. Actually I think you are the only one.

 

Anyway, my one piece of advice would be for your father to not make a rash decision on retirement. When I read that, I thought "wow, why would he retire, his job would probably be a source of normalcy for him, not to mention something to spend his days doing." It seems to me that losing both his wife and his job would be an extremely difficult situation to deal with. Just a thought.

This was my thought too. Might be good for him to retain some structure and social contact through work.

So sorry about your Mom GoColts. Sending you and your family my sympathy and condolences.

Yeah, I kind of thought this too and mentioned it to him. He can not do anything until September, so at least that pushes it back a bit. I even told him today that when my ex left me and took my son, I was alone and went to a very dark place and I do not want to see that happen to him.

 

We are both upset my mom had to work until the day she died and never was able to enjoy a retirement. That is when I found out that his has lost many friends from work in the past. At least 12 have have just dropped dead while at work. He does not want this to happen to him and neither do I.

 

My dad came over for a visit with us tonight. He seemed a little bit better today. The next two days are the showing and funeral. I am sure it is going to be extremely difficult next two days.

 

On a good note, some old friends have reached out to me, some that have not spoken to me for many years over petty shtt. So glad they did.

 

THanks everyone.

Do you think she'd like to do the ALS ice bucket challange?

My wonderful mother died tonight.

 

I called and talked with my mom nearly everyday. I will never get to make that call again.

 

I know I have some fantasy football obligations. I will get to it in a couple days. Sorry folks for any inconvenience.

Gary, my condolences to you and your family. Blessings!

Sorry for your loss.

I lost my Dad in February and just deleted his number from my phone.

[JT 137]

Sincere condolences to you and your family. I hope you can find some moments of peace in the difficult days ahead.

 

In her later years, when communication became too tough for daily calls, I called Mom at the same time every Sunday. She's been gone over a year now and the alarm still goes off on my phone every Sunday afternoon. It helps.

[parrot 789]

Sorry Colts.

Now that is one of the saddest things I have ever seen on this site.

 

I had never thought of that aspect of someone dying.

 

Deleting their number from your phone. Fock me

One of my best friends died back in March. I still have her texts and vms and her phone # in my phone. I don't think with a close family member I could ever delete anything.

I keep irrelevant messages from some, just in case.

Definitely moving her to "trending downward" on my FF draft cheatsheet.
