Some years back my Mum went to canada with her Sister to visit relatives and when they arrived they were too tired to go out for dinner with the family they were visiting. My Aunt makes coffee and my Mum goes on the hunt for snacks and they sit on the balcony enjoying coffee and home made brownie. 2 hours later they family come back to find both my Aunt and Mum on the floor clutching themselves in tears of laughter. My cousin goes pale and says "how many did you eat?"..."about three each my Mum replies". "Oh fuck!" says the cousin that was a strong batch too.
I love the old soul and just got back from seeing her in Scotland and despite the 3000 miles distance I call her twice a week.
My thoughts are with you Tank.

Tank, I know this has been a long road for you and your family. I'm really sorry and hope you the best. Your mom was lucky to have a son with such a big heart.

Amazing thread amidst the trite, useless shit that's on here.
Seeing my mum this weekend, 2hr train ride away. She's always so excited to see me & we always go and hang out with grandparents and shoot the breeze driving around the north (of england).
How do they get to be so awesome?

White Owl Flies Into and Out of the Field
Coming down out of the freezing sky
with its depths of light,
like an angel, or a Buddha with wings,
it was beautiful, and accurate,
striking the snow and whatever was there
with a force that left the imprint
of the tips of its wings — five feet apart —
and the grabbing thrust of its feet,
and the indentation of what had been running
through the white valleys of the snow —
and then it rose, gracefully,
and flew back to the frozen marshes
to lurk there, like a little lighthouse,
in the blue shadows —
so I thought:
maybe death isn't darkness, after all,
but so much light wrapping itself around us —as soft as feathers —
that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking,
and shut our eyes, not without amazement,
and let ourselves be carried,
as through the translucence of mica,
to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow,
that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light —
in which we are washed and washed
out of our bones.~ Mary Oliver

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 thoughts are with you and family Tank. My parents are getting older each time I see them and its dawning on me more and more that I too will have to one day lose them. And it hurts. Im sorry to hear that this had to happen to you now, but wish you all the best in coping with it.
QBN isnt a bad place to start :)
