A sad note
A sad note
Yesterday some of us have received word from Dar ( Tincup ) That his mother had passed on yesterday morning. She was 87 years old and not in the greatest health and I am sure is in a better place now. As Dar is one of my best friends I felt obgligated to post this and let him know how really sorry I am. As of Fri. he will be out of town for at least a week. Because he pretty much runs this community by him self if anyone has problems you`ll have to give him a week or so. God Bless You and yours bro.

Re: A sad note
Dar! I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Re: A sad note
Thank you for your kind words… I appreciate them.
I am still trying to sort out how I feel about her passing. On the one hand, it is always very difficult to lose a loved one. No matter how ready you think you are, you still take a body blow when you get that call.
On the other hand, I am comforted in knowing she is in a better place, free from the bondage of a deteriorating body and mind. Over the past five years, I watched her descend into a dark, twilight world of Alzheimer’s disease. She needed help doing even the simplest of things, like dressing herself and eating lunch. She used to read a 300-400 page novel in a day. Two years ago, she gave up reading completely. She could read but she just didn’t. She didn’t watch TV or read the newspaper. Nor did she interact socially with any of the other residents of the home. She even got to the point where she didn’t recognize her husband. She was in a near-vegetative state… no way to live.
I don’t want to sound cold here, but in some ways, I am relieved that her soul finally decided to leave that worn out body of hers. I will always remember and celebrate her as the person she was many years ago… not the one she became at the end.
Like it or not, I guess this is something that most of us will have to deal with at some point.
Thanks again for the condolences. They act like cushions to soften the body blow.

Re: A sad note
I was sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my mother just over 2 years ago to cancer, she was 80. It's like you said that you think you're ready, but you never are for that void that will ALWAYSbe there.There's hardly a day that goes by that I don't think about and miss her. My sympathy to you and your family Dar.
