Have not been around for a few days......

Post by Charger440 »

Guys, you may have noticed how I have not been active the last several days. I just wanted to let you know I am still here but my mom is in ICU with terminal stage 4 lung cancer and will not survive. This has been a tough few days and the end is still coming so it's going to be a few more tough days. Don't feel like you have to respond, I just wanted to let you know why I had not been around much.

Jim, sorry about your mom. My dad died of cancer too. You need to be strong now.
One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Thank you, Fred. My father died a couple years ago but I have no idea what from. I had not seen him in more than 25 years.

Thanks for letting us know Jim. I was actually wondering about you and your late night posts. Sorry to hear about your mother. That’s a tuff thing to go thru. My mom died two years ago Christmas day. She died from Alzheimer’s. One hates to see their parents go but after enough suffering it is sometimes a blessing to know the pain and suffering is over for them. Take care my friend and be strong.

Thank you Bill. The Christmas day passing must have been really tough but just may be a little bit of a blessing too? Like right now my main concern is my mom suffering from something she is not going to recover from. There only question is how much time she has left.

I too lost my dad to cancer back in '13. I was very close to him and it was recent enough that I know exactly how you feel. Although in 20 years I will likely still remember the pain. Spend all the time you can with her before she goes. You will not regret time spent, only time that you could have spent but didn't. Be strong and know that your are in our thoughts and that we wish the best for your mom's remaining time.

At 1:45 AM Tuesday morning my mom passed away. She is in better place and not suffering anymore. We can all move on with our lives and learn from hers. Thank you for the kind words guys.

My sincere condolences, Jim. But I guess You're right, she's in a better place now.
