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 :)

_____Sorry to hear this tank, now i feel bad about giving you a hard time over the Belgian Post service! I promise I didn't know. All i can say is having a long life doesn't equate to having a good life, which your mum had with you as her son. Best wishes

Witt, Thank you.
A part of her ashes will also spread there in Penacova.
All QBN'ers, thank you for the warm words & the nice stories
and pictures about your mothers.

hey, tank.
I today took the Coimbra-Penacova road back to my place as a tribute for your mum. I stopped at the new-bridge overlooking the Mondego river (I bet she loved it) and made a personal wish. Let me say that we're deeply honoured that she's been here taking care of our stray animals. We cannot thank her enough. atb.
- She loved Portugal, she wanted to go back the last months but due to declining health it was impossible. thank you for the tribute.tank02

I think this is one of the most beautiful records and in some ways quite fitting for this thread, emotional music...
God bless tank!

i'm so, so sorry for your loss tank. you mom is so poised and lovely in that photo, you must miss her very much. i'm so afraid of losing my mum even though i know it's inevitable...it tears me up just thinking about it. my heart goes out to you.

I normally dont do this on boards, but since we all exchange experiences here mine.
My dad died last year because of cancer. he was my best friend, and a very funny man. I miss him every day..so for those who still have both their parents; invest/enjoy time being with them, while they are still around.

Sorry for your loss Tank.
I almost lost my Mom to cancer but she pulled through and has been doing ok for the last two years. I have no idea what I would do if she didn't make it.

Tank, I am really sorry to hear that. I remember well you writing about your mom here in the last months. You submitted a photo of both of you to ntmugs, I uploaded it not so long ago.
All the best to you.

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

this is my first post here on qbn.. i had to do it here.
the outpouring of support in this thread was really uplifting to start off what was otherwise a rather tired morning.
my best wishes to you, tank. i'm sorry for your loss, but she's in a better place now. may she rest in peace

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.
