Mom
She is the one women we all love unconditionally. Mom was there to change our diapers and walk us to the bus stop on the first day of kindergarten, kicking and crying. When we got home on that big yellow bus, She was there to retrieve us like a lost little puppy.[:)][:X] As we grew and got a little older, she was there to help us with our home work and not tell dad about all the things we did wrong that day. She was our confidant. There to help us mend our wounds from playing hard with our friend. As the teen age years came, Mom was always there to tell us how to act around girls and what to do and NOT to do. Manners, manners, manners. On our wedding day, mom was there to sooth our worries and calm us down. Next came the grand children. Grammy was there for every single event from child birth to their first birthday, with gifts, kisses and to help us raise our children. Mom are the greatest gift in the world to us. More precious than anything in the world that God created. She is a gift that no one can take away from us. To all the moms on GunBroker and all of the moms of the forum members, Happy mothers day[:)][:)][:)] We love you and celebrate all that you have given us and all the support over the years. God bless each and every one of you.
One special prayer I would like to add people. A special prayer tonight for smitty's mom whom just lost her husband and best friend. May you comfort her and hold her in your ever loving arms and guide her through this difficult time. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers.
Your GB friend, Oakie

I have been sitting here thinking of the day my mother passed. I was called from work and was told that it seemed she was in a bad way. I traveled the short distance (200 miles) to be with her. My father had been watching her for a long long time and I told him to get some sleep. She died while I was watching her. Not only that, I decided I needed a cigarette and was outside when I noitce (through the window) that something was not quite right. I will never forgive myself for that. I can not believe I was so flippant with my mothers life. I know I did not take her but, I should have been there to see her go.. 0 -

Sounds as if you are blaming yourself for something that know one could have known or did anything about. Rest assured that she was comforted enough with your present, so she could pass as she only wanted you there for one more time. You know that she is with you now as she is smiling down on you from Heaven. I'm sure you did her proud. Be thankful for her, and God Bless!0 -
She is not gone:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.0 -
It is very common for us all to second guess our actions when we lose our parents or spouses. I was not with my Mom when she died or my Sister Christmas Day. But I do know death is something we do by ourselves and we all want our children or spouse to carry on and love life with new gusto as a result of our passing.
Your Mom would want you to live life in the moment and realize as a result of her death that life is short, oh so very short, and you must enjoy the "now" and not wait to do all those things that are important for you to do before you pass. Buy that Harley, if thats your thing, visit Hawaii, Tahiti or your dream destination, tell your wife you love her several times per day and give her instructions that if you die before your time to find another companion and enjoy her life.IMHO[:)]0
