    As many of you know my mother has been battling Luekemia for over a year. This morning it finally got the best of her, and she is resting comfortably in heaven.

    She had battled this for a long time, and finally she could just not hold out any longer.

    Her last lucid day was on Wed, and I got to share it with her before she went to bed and I went to meet Smeggy at BW3s.

    I am thankful that I had such a strong mother and father, and for those of you who think that men are stronger then women, watch who takes charge in these situations, and you will understand that basically the world revolves around Mom's everywhere.

    I choose to remember my mother on the porch yelling that dinner was ready as I was off somewhere in the neighborhood running amok, she fed half of the kids we knew and always knew EXACTLy what we were up to.

    I will miss you mom, may you rest in peace.

    If you have a story about your mom, post it here....Mom's are wonderful people and more vital then any of us really know.

    God bless. Like you said, remember the good times and take comfort in the fact that she fought the good fight & is now in a much better, more peaceful place.

    sorry to hear. we were just talking about her at BW3. No wonder you didn't want to say much. I'm sorry. My stepdad died of luekemia, too, 2 yrs ago.

    DD - Man I am so sorry about your loss. My buddy that I sent a prayer request out last week died the day after I posted and I was terribly sad. I cannot imagine what you are feeling right now. I just said a prayer for God to give your family strength.

    I am so sorry DaDakota. I will continue to pray for you, bro.

    I'm glad to see that you can temper your loss with the overwhelming joy that she is with God.

    My favorite band has a song that says:

    "Yesterday was the day that I was alone
    Now I'm in the prescence of almighty God"

    I'm glad that she has a beautiful room that Jesus has prepared for her.

    Always tough to lose a parent. My dad dies when I was 17.

    My condolences to you and your family, my friend.
