First and foremost fuck any of you who came here with a sarcastic comment about the thread title.

My mom passed away about a month and a half ago ( September 5 2007) after a year long battle with gastric (stomach) cancer. I saw my mom in situations in the last months of her life that no son should ever have to see. I saw a woman who never said anything mean to anybody, avoided conflict at all costs, suffer greatly while coping with her own slow death.

Why am I posting this here now? Just like the title says I love my mom, I never really appreciated what she did for me growing up. And I realized only to late how huge she was in my life.

My only regret is that she never got to see me fully succeed and stand on my own two feet, like I wanted her to. She was pretty much the only person who believed that I could make my living for myself.

I dont want your sympathy. I already get all the pity I can take. I just want you to think about how huge the people are in your life that support you and for you to see that tomorrow they could be gone. So say what you need to say today.
 


Thanks for sharing, E-Graffiti and I AM sorry for your loss. I can't imagine.

My mother had colon cancer and managed to pull through, but every year for her yearly check up we all hold our breath.

My mother and I have our issues but thanks for reminding me that nothing really matters except that she's here. And so am I.

Maybe I should give her a call... :)
 
Dude, that is great thing to realize. Thanks for sharing.

I love both of my parents and my brother.
 
Your mom will see your accomplishments, I am sure of that.

My mom died when I was 22, of breast cancer. She knew she was dying and like you said...it was painful as a child (even an adult child) to watch the person who was your rock waste away. I have missed her every single day since she has been gone (and it's been a few years). I do know that she was very proud of me, and she believed in me. She was the kindest, most thoughful, witty, intelligent, giving woman that I have ever known.

I've taken her strength and her faith in me with me throughout my life, I won't disappoint her. She has given me incredible strength when I've needed it the most, and I've known she has been there for me during the worst of times. You'll know what I mean. A mother's bond with her children is never broken, even in death.

If I could hug you I would.
 
Honestly one of the big motivations for me to work as much as I do is to help my mom get better. She's been sick for years now with little help from her doctors, just getting worse. Someday I hope to have enough money to send her somewhere where they will actually help her.
 
omg this just made me cry. MY moms birthday is today.. Thanks for spending the time to write that.
 
I feel for ya man, and I feel every fucking word in this thread. My mom is still alive but I didn't see her for over a year now, after reading this I just realized how lucky I am, and how stupid I was.

Thx for taking the time to post this here and sorry for your loss man.
 
I lost my mom suddenly and unexpectedly when I was 20. That day changed my life forever. Also in positive ways, as weird as that may sound. I now know not to take things for granted and am very aware of the fact that life for some of us can be cut short with the snap of finger and try to live my life to the fullest.

Personally, I don't believe in God or heaven or anything, but I do believe the people we have lost are still around us somewhere. Your mom will surely see what you have accomplished and wat you will accomplish in the future.

I wish you lots of strength in this difficult time.

I'm really sorry for the loss you have had and I know you must be feeling her absence every bit and everywhere but just be strong and take life as its coming as what happened is a part and parcel of the life's cycle.

Women is the best creation of the Almighty and also is the supreme being as she's the one who gives life to another being and the best part a women plays in her life is the role of a mother.

Your story has made me feel that I owe a lot more to my mother than I always thought and she deserves a lot more love , care and affection from my side because after all she's the one who gave me life.

Be strong and have faith.
 
Thanks for sharing man, I couldn't agree more. I lost my Mom to cancer when I was 12, and even to this day (subconsciously I'm sure) I always remind people to cherish their loved ones, because before you know it they could be gone. I never leave my fiancee or other close family on bad terms, even just to go out to the gas station or something, because you never know what could happen. I'm terribly sorry for your loss, I do understand.
 
I lost my Mom when I was 19. My aunt, (who was like a 2nd mom to me) passed away 13 days after my mom. Having no where to go but living with my drug addicted father or maturing and living on my own, I chose the latter. Thanks for posting that
 
I lost my mom unexpectedly on september 21st of this year, i'm 17 years old. Went to hangout with some friends and play some poker. Came home and found her laying lifeless on the couch with a movie playing. She was perfectly healthy and clean with no high cholesterol and no clogged arteries, all I know is that it was a rare heart problem. I wish I would have known that when I left my house that day that I would never be able to talk to my mom ever again. I know what your going through man and I feel for you. It has been almost a month now and at first I never knew how I was going to be able to live but I know that there is nothing that I can do and I know my mom wants me to live a happy life and that is what I am going to do.

Holy shit. My new favorite quote.

But I do love my mother, even if she thinks I'm a total failure because I dropped out of college and refuse to go back and/or work for the man like a "normal person". But I've accepted that decision. I shit you not, the woman still says "So... now that you've made all this money, don't you think it's time to go back to school?". It's a Jewish thing.
 
Dude, Jon. My mother is Jewish too. My father Italian.

Needless to say, guilt was a disgustingly large portion of my upbringing. :disgust:

Regardless, E-graffiti, my thoughts are with you. Thanks for sharing - your words made a tiny crack in my blackened, frozen heart. I might have to ring up my mom this afternoon.

Ahh so you're the "good half"! Haha! Jewish mothers are tough women to deal with.
 
LOL! I was reading ezinestein's quote and I started giggling and then I read Jon's "using it as his quote" and I started really LOL and then my 5 year old peeks over and starts reading " Your mom sounds great...." and I slammed the laptop shut.


***Note to self, no more reading WF in the living room***
