Damn, it don't seem like it has been that long. Seems like yesterday. I still get the urge to make mom lunch and BS with her. Damn I miss her. On the flipside our family is closer than ever, just the way she would have wanted it.
When bad shit happens, I think there is no greater comfort than knowing ones' family is there for them, backing them up, always. You are a good egg, and I've no doubt that that comes from having a wonderful family.
Kerrcarto - I'm 79. I was 26 when my mother died and I still miss her. But Maeve is right. A mother is always with us in everything we do. It's a great testimony to her love that your family is closer than ever. All the best to all of you.
Sure does no seem like it's been that long. I still have mine, she just turned 86, and totald her car on the way to her bday party. She got hurt, but would not stay in the hospital. Said she could heal better in her own home.
My Dad passed away the month after I graduated vet school. He was only 48. I thank God he saw me finish school because that was probably a bigger moment for him then it was for me. We were just starting to get close, as in a friendhsip, though as a father he was always close to me. Not a day goes by where I don't think about him or what he and I missed out on as I opened my own business, got married and had a child. It would probably be even worse had it been my mom. The only emotions I can convey is it does get easier with time.
Thanks everybody! it is good to have friends I have met in person, and internet friends I hope to meet someday like y'all. That is what this country is all about.

Well ya see, Norm, it's like this.... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
~Cliff Clavin
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

Alcohol May Be Man's Worst Enemy
But The Bible Says Love Your Enemy

I know what you mean. It's especially bad on Sundays when I just want to pick up the phone and call her.
