thinking of my mom today

[cuznjohn]

when my mom had the stroke, i helped her get around quite a bit. i have been thinking about her today. when i came out of the bank b4 i went to the dentist for some oral surgery, OUCH! there was a older woman trying to help her husband out of their car and into his wheel chair. he had a stroke and i asked if i could help. she said yes and i asked the man to trust me because i did this with my mom for a long time. he seemed a lil nervous but trusted me to lift him out of the car so he could stand, than i grabbed him under his arms and turned him so i could lower him into the chair.
i got flashbacks of mom and was thinking of her. now when i have nothing to do, i watch you tube and i came across this. this made my eyes tear.

As long as your Mom is in your memories; she's never left you...
The folks that you helped today, will also never forget you! :clap:

Cuz, it's memories that keep her spirit alive. I think about my mom and dad all the time. Sometimes it brings a tear to my eye, but most of the time those memories make me smile...

My wife has been gone 8 years,Mom 33 but I still miss them. Never pass up a chance to remind yourself of someone gone by helping someone now.

Always there...

My mom passed June this year. We bought this house with her in mind and I worked 5 years ending up with back surgery and loosing the full use of my right leg to make it a great final home for her. Though her mind was going fast you could see it in her eyes and as I continue working on it she is all around and seems I never did enough nor soon enough. She was the last of my past...so I keep her in my present.

liked the post cuz! my mom has been gone nearly two years now. she passed three days before her first great grandchild was born. I dont' know how much she understood near the end, but my wife and I had her for 3 1/2 years before she passed. i'm sure she's looking down and wishing she had hung in just a little longer. think of her and dad often! wished we could visit with them via "Super Skype" or something!!

my mom passed 3 years ago this past june, she was a strong 84 year old italian bull. she could cook up a storm and turn a house upside down till the first stroke hit her. she lost her speech and had a hard time walking. then the second stroke hit her and that totally immobilized her. guess that is why i felt really bad for the wife today when i saw her trying to get the old gent out of the car. i was used to lifting mom in and out of the car and off the bowl when she was home. it is a shame that people get that bad that they can't function anymore.

But it's folks like you, that make positive differences in their lives. :thumbup:

My mom passed 4 years ago at 88 years young she was also Italian John so I know about the great cooking
At that time my stepdad [who is almost totally blind and deaf needed someone to watch over him
I moved to Bridgeport Calif. to take care of him
I knew I could not move him anywhere else because he has lived there all his life
On August 12 of this year he turned 90 years old
2 weeks later he went into the hospital he passed in his sleep on September 23
I am so glade he was able to live in his home and not have to go to a nursing home
I will never forget the last 4 years as my stepdad and I became closer than ever
RIP Ken and tell mom I said hello
Thank you John for this post it has made me feel better about their passing
