As many of you know, my mom has been very ill with cancer for a few years now. Today, @ 4pm EST or pretty close, she gave up and lost the battle. it was a hard fought one though. Mom was one tough old bird! I know that sounds disrespectful, but it is not intended that way. She was not one to sit around feeling sorry for herself, and she didn't with this, either. Anyway, she was not able to take chemo for about the last two-three months, and time just caught up to her. This morning I checked on her, and her breathing had a very heavy 'rattle.'
Hospice came in and moved her to Hospice House, & in just a very short time, God called her home.
Previously, peeps on the fire, many of whom had never even responded to anything I had posted, both publicly posted their prayers, and via PM's as well. Says alot about y'all...man, I love you guys (gals too)! Somehow, the simply word of 'thanks, well, it just ain't enough, but it's all this old bubba can offer.
I like this old song, reminds me of Mom. I am sure she is doing it now.
Really sorry to hear about your mom iambrb, she sounds like she was a real fighter. One day you will be together again. Sincerest condolences from my family to yours,
My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. My father suffered in a similar way, and although my grief prevented me fully realizing at the time, his eventual passing as actually a blessed release for him..
Take comfort in your family, and in your faith, and try to let the memories of all the good times come to the fore..
Thanks for telling about your mother. It sounds as thought she was a good gal, and a really good mom. I am sorry that you have lost her, but can feel that you enjoyed and admired her so much while she was here. You have my best wishes in this sorrowful time.
Very sorry to hear of your moms passing my friend, I still remember the day my mom died, It was a tough day. I also referred to my mom as a tough old bird and it's not disrespectful to a gal that has earned that title as a matter of fact my mother wore it as a badge of honor.
Good luck to you and remember she's in no pain and enjoying her time with the Lord.
BTW: Thanks in way more than enough for the folks here.
Lost my Mom in 1999. She wanted to make it to 2000, but it was not to be.
Alan Jackson was one of my mother�s favorites. So his voice always makes me think of her.
And this guy and this song.
Jim Reeves: Come Home, Come Home...It's Suppertime... The Shadows lengthen Fast Come Home, Come Home�it's Suppertime We're going Home at Last...
Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play till evenin' shadows come Then windin' down that old familiar pathway I'd hear my mother call at set of sun.
Come home, come home it's suppertime The shadows lengthen fast Come home, come home it's suppertime We're going home at last.
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood Were woven around suppertime When my mother used to call From the backsteps of the old homeplace Come on home now son it's suppertime.
Ahhhh, but I'd loved to hear that once more But you know for me time has woven the realization of The truth that's even more thrilling and that's when The call come up from the portals of glory To come home for it's suppertime.
When all Gods children shall gather around the table of the Lord, Himself and the greatest suppertime of them all.
Come home, Come home�it's Suppertime The Shadows lengthen Fast Come home, Come home�it's Suppertime We're going Home at Last...
So very sorry you lost your mother. She is at peace, and you will see her again someday. May God wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you today and the days to come. Prayers for you and the rest of her family.
Wow, condolences on the loss of your Mom, lost mine in 2008, know what you are going through still miss her, and still find myself thinking of calling her to share something. She is at least at peace now.
Sorry for your loss. It will hurt for a while, then you will remember the good times and smile . . . or cry. It changes from day to day. Please express our sympathies from Arkansas to any family members and friends.
We went through much the same with my mother in Sept 2011. Mom was in not apparent pain from her cancer (she found out she had lung cancer in 2005 and elected not have any treatment), but if she was, she didn't gripe about it. Toward the end, she had hospice care for about a month at home, moved into a nursing home, was there for only three weeks and God decided it was time for her to join Dad . . . or maybe she decided and God finally agreed .
I'm sorry for your loss ...my prayer is for God to comfort you and your family...and give you the strength to get thru this sad ordeal...Mother's are so special and we hate to give them up....just know that she is in God's precense now and you'll see her again someday.
getting here late tonight, but condolences to the family... here is to hoping their is a heaven and your mom is there in peace with all of those that she loved who had gone before her...
may God and Jesus be with you and your family at this trying time...God Bless to all...
I too, lost my mother to the scourge that is cancer. It took the Grim Reaper two and half years to do his work. I'm sure both of our moms are home in heaven now.
Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace.
My thoughts are with you. My wife and I had the same experience with our Mother's four years ago and she flies home tomorrow to close on her Father's battle, the end being a few weeks away.
I'm so sorry for your loss but I rejoice for Heaven's gain. Your mother is now free from sickness and hurt and in the presence of our Lord. My dad had been there for a year and a half now. It hurts to lose a loved one but what a blessing it is to know where they have gone. Praise God!
Sorry to hear that, and I'm late to this thread but please accept our condolences. And our thoughts and prayers and know that your mother is no longer fighting and is in a much better place.

Sorry for your loss
