Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 I hope you guys don't mind me posting this. Most people would do it on Facebook. But I consider each if you friends more so than the 500 some FB says I have My mom passed away this morning in Pensacola, FL. She was 89 and had suffered with dementia the better part of the last 10 years. It had gotten progressively worse the past two years. I last saw her a year ago. At that time It was sadly obvious that She had no clue who I was or any recall of past events. She was put in hospice care at that time. The fact she battled it for another year is a testament to her toughness. She grew up on a small farm in MS with her father passing at a young age and a mom in bad health. At age 15, She pretty much raised her baby sister and took care of the house while still graduating HS before marrying my father a year afterwards. I was 10 and my brother 6 when my parents divorced. She worked full time and raised two sons, without us ever wanting for a thing Or going hungry. Well I never did get that racetrack set for Christmas that I kept asking for I owe every value I have to this day to her. She taught us how to be honest, account for our selves and treat others kindly. She didn't see color in people, she just saw the good in then. .. whee and when she was raised, that is actually damn impressive. I received many of my physical traits from her or her family, she had older twin brothers who were 6'4. During my adult years I visited her as often as I could. But not often enough. Yet she always had a full pan of lasagna, a huge baking dish of Banana Pudding and dozens and dozens of Chocolate Chip cookies. Like I said. We never went hungry. The timing really sucks. Obviously I and my brother and sisters can't travel there now. She made plans a couple years ago to be cremated. So that's what they will do. A family friend down there will hold on to her remais. When everything clears up, my siblings and I will meet in MS for a service and say our goodbyes. This was my last picture with her. Time and illness had taken a toll on her. But she still managed a smile. Rest in peace Mom. I love you. fozcycle, Kenny B, MGoBlue100 and 26 others 18 1 10 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony@CIC Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Rob my deepest sympathies. I'm sure it was even more difficult because of the dementia.

Kenny B Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Sorry for your loss Rob. It sounds like she had a good life and raised you and your brother well. It's tough not being able to travel for the celebration of life, but that can be done when the situation has improved. My wife's sister passed away a year ago this past December, but winter is not a good time for people to travel, so we had a big party on a lake north of Spokane, WA in late June... lots of people were there. My mom passed away two years ago at 89; she would be 91 this coming Monday. Her mind was sharp, but her body had all kinds of problems, and her passing was probably a blessing. My dad is 89 and in an assisted living facility in Corvallis Oregon, and I can't even go visit him because of this virus. You are right about this community being friends, but I think we are really one big family. sirchunksalot, bens197, fixyurdivot and 2 others 5 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyNiblick Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 My most sincere condolences, CG2. I lost my mom and dad twenty-eight days apart about 26 years ago. I was 47 at the time, but you're never ready to lose your parents. In time, we learn to live with our losses, but the loss remains nonetheless. You'll find that it's better than forgetting. bens197, fixyurdivot, Golfspy_CG2 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
