Codger, are you ok?

Again, thankyou friends. Mother passed Sunday night, the 19th with her two sons holding her hands. We had the funeral yesterday, Wednesday. I have not slept more than a few hours at a time since December 2nd, nor eaten properly. Now I am dealing with settling her estate. I don't have internet there, but I will be making periodic trips bach here to my home for a while. I just drove in from Arkansas, and I am heading back in an hour or so. I have to meet with the real estate agent, insurance agent, pastor, family friends and an auctioneer.

Knife content? Mom developed edema a week ago and her arms swelled badly. One of her hospital bracelets was cutting off her circulation and I pointed it out to the attending nurse. "Do you have a knife?" Yas I did. My EDC 897UH removed the offending wristband with a gentle snick.

This is the first time in over half a century that my Mother did not wish me a happy birthday.
 
Michael, I'm sure I can speak for all of us here: Our Sincere Wishes to you for a Happy Birthday !
might be a bit belated, but you know you have the support and affection of everyone of us who have come to know you through this forum.

If you need anything mate please PM me...even for just a cheer up...or even how to handle Real Estate Agents....if their lips are moving they are generally telling embellished lies...... Sincere Condolences. Hoo Roo
 
My sincerest and affectionate thoughts are with you, Michael. I held my parents' hands as they left this earthly orb, and it is a hard thing. It would have been harder for them to stay. As you know, Time is a great healer. Take from this sacred season and from your friends' prayers what you need in this time of sadness and stress.
 
Michael... I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your mother are in our daily prayers.

2Cr 1:2-5 Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Thanks guys. It has been a hard few weeks. I've actually lost track of the time I've been here. Mom is 82 years old and a fighter. She is terminal, but refuses to let go. Every time she goes down for the count, she rallys. But each time a little less. I'll make a post in community when it is over. Again, thanks for your concern. Prayers are welcome and appreciated.

Meanwhile, I do have an "iffy" wireless connection here in the Annex guest room, so I will continue reading more than posting for a bit.

Sorry you have to go through this, take care, God Bless!
 
Michael,

Very sorry to hear of your loss. It's fortunate that you and your brother were able to be with your Mom as she passed.

I lost my Mom last year and my family was also blessed to be able to be with her. A week hasn't gone by where I've not wanted to share something with Mom.
