My mom passed away at 58 years of age on  August 1, 2001--10 monrhs after my Dad passed away at the same age.  Tough times.  My point---take nothing for granted. Call/visit Mom today because time is limited

My mom has had a rough few years physically and emotionally after spending the better part of 5 years caring after her mother-in-law, her own parents, and her sister who had down's syndrome and passed away at 58 years old.

it's hard looking at your mom and realizing that she is now in her 70s and not in good health. i had the benefit of having 3/4 of my grandparents until i was in my 30s. my two daughters won't get that privilege because i waited until i was in my late 30s to start having kids. fortunately i am in a situation where my kids get to see my parents daily. i just wish that they were going to get to see a more lively version of my mom. years of caring for others took their toll on her.

i'm just going to have to keep sharing stories about the vitality she had along with the strength that she showed in all she did with the hopes that at some point in the near future they get to see a glimpse of that for themselves.

remember who your mom is/was and allow that to make an impact on who you are and use her story to hopefully infuence those who come later to become better people. mom's are a true (and often under-appreciated) blessing.

i'm just glad i have a wife who is a remarkeable woman who has become an amazing mom to our kids (and, many times to me who can act like a baby).

I was a sh!thead, so this day is no different than any day for me. I think about her every day. Bitter sweet day... July 25, 2011. The day the lockout ended. She was a huge Bears fan, and now finally the Cubs are looking for real. So I'm a legacy Cubs fans because of her. Wearing the hat everyday.

Nov 25th 2005. Talk about a rough Thanksgiving. Aneurysm out of the blue. 

I'm not sad though. She was a bad ass and I'm thankful I had her as a mother. 

It's also my fiancé's first Mother's Day as a mom so it's a great day again. 

Gonna buy some roses for her, for mom and for Lola (Filipino Grandma). 

Happy Mother's Day to the few and proud Huddle Moms on this board.

My paternal grandmother passed away in October. I miss her dearly. 

I LOVE YOU!!!
