mortality has been much on my mind of late. It's overwhelmingly sad, painful and frightening to think about the death of loved ones (and of your own) but it's what makes life so sacred and profound

Try to keep your head up, Tank. I lost my mom in 2002 and I'm sure that we'll all see our Mummies when we're old guys chilling somewhere up there in heaven!

I have to think about this song from city&colour..
So, now you're not there
But your ghost still burns in the air
Finally above us the waves have come
To take you awayAnd with this song, I'll say goodbye
And thank you for what you've done to my life
And Finally I'll say it with love
I hope you're at rest in the stars aboveAnd I don't understand what you died for
We still could have given so much more
And I know you are something I could never be
But I know you're still there watching over me

I don't often log in and post, but I had to do so after this thread moved me so much - thank you for your reminder of our own mothers, those still with us and those who have left. All the best wishes and prayers are with you.

My mom and I had a relationship that's all about feeding. And food. I've only included birthday shots here, but many of my other pictures have to do with food as well. Now it's time for me to go off into the world on my own ;)
(in the 3rd one I am laughing because my sister, who was apparently my "bestest" friend EVER at the time, was really excited about the cake my mom was about to feed her)
- awww, those are great.brains

So very sorry for your loss tank.
My Mum (that’s how we spell it here) looks after my 2 boys a couple of days a week. When my nieces and nephews were born she and my Dad were in the middle of their divorce, so she didn’t get to spend much time with them (those kids are now in their twenties). First thing she said when my first son was born was that she didn’t want to make that mistake this time.
She does all the things Grandmas are supposed to do – lets my oldest boy drink Coke (just a little), lets him pee in the bath, just indulges their childish leanings.
She is a database creator and a wiz at teaching other retirees all those apps that we laugh about here – FrontPage, PowerPoint, Word, etc. She rings me for PhotoShop help at all hours of the day or night. She taught herself computers after she and Dad split.
When my son first told her “I love you Grandma” last week, it brought tears to her eyes, much like the ones in mine now as I type this.
All the best Tank. When we all eventually tread that path, folks like you are there to show us the way.
