Hey brothers and sis. My mother passed away about 5 am Friday morning. Wednesday afternoon she had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her colon. The surgery went well. The recovery not so much. I'm fine, but shocked. She was 82 and extremely active and healthy. She worked a 40 hour a week job. Drove all over the place. In church three times a week. Just a vibrant, witty, bundle of sass and energy. I fully expected her to outlive me. Or at least live well past 100. But now I'm the oldest in my family, and I guess next in line. Lol. She will be missed.
 
Sorry for your loss. She lived life to her fullest up to the end.
 
So sorry ta hear brotha. Losing my mom was a rough one too.....there is no one like your mother. Condolences and you know where to come for support.
 
Sorry to hear bro. My mother passed away in April after surgery to remove her spleen.
 
My deepest condolences brother:(

That's very frustrating and sad to read. We are all here for you man! it's rough losing your mom, mine passed away suddenly in 2015, and I think of her all the time. My grandm other was the same age as your mom, and she was very active too. She had a stroke after a TAVR procedure for her heart, and it damaged a whole side of her brain. A year prior, she was still getting up on her roof to make sure some of the workers were doing it right, lol.
 
Man I feel for you bro. I remember when I got the news of my mom passing, she was the only family I had left, it sucked. I wish you well man.
 
Sorry to hear Rough - condolences brother. Crazy how our moms circumstances were so similar. My mom was active, in great shape, walked 3 miles every day, worked also. In 2014 my mom was 83, and she told me in August she was having some slight lower back pain. Two weeks later she was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and was gone 6 weeks later. Total shocker as well bro! I believe you're a man of faith, as am I, so knowing they are in paradise now helps.
 
Feel for ya brother. Been there recently and it fckn sucks. Didn?t hit me til 2-3 months after and time only helped from then on out
 
Yeah, I know what you mean AB. Right now I'm just very busy trying to settle her affairs. I have two sisters that flew in from Montana and Afghanistan (she's a pilot private contractor). So at least I have some help. What sucks is my dog died on the 3rd, my Mom on the 10th. Funny story. My sister the Dr from Montana and her daughter who is a private contractor at McDill, are staying at Mom's. My wife is helping us bag and box stuff up. My wife, you all know she has alzheimers, was emptying out their suit cases and bagging their stuff up. I love that lady. She is wild crazy. A light moment in the middle of all the cat fighting between my sisters.
 
Like I told you yesterday I'm very sorry for your loss. I was in a similar situation with my mom in 2005 :(
 
On Mrs. Rough...A guy that worked for me had parents and in-laws all sick at the same time, mom & FIL both physically and MIL and dad both with alzheimers. One thing he told me he learned early was when the things come they do that bother you, don't, instead laugh. You just gotta laugh or you will make yourself crazy and they cannot help it. So love them and laugh. Not so you upset them but laugh so you aren't upset. This one was funny and I'm sure helped with the circumstances as well..
 
Very sad news especially because she was so active. It?s never easy but those conditions make it more difficult. You are the Man. We all love you. Be the heart!
