    May God bring comfort and encouragement for you and your family during this time.

    I hate to hear it. My Mom passed in 2011, Dad had passed 3 years prior to that. The thing I hadn't considered till Mom passed is the loss of my home compass, there is no home base for their children now, nowhere to go to get in touch with our beginnings.

    It gets easier as time passes though.

    Prayers for you, @DCochran. May you find God’s comfort and peace in this time.

    Prayers for you and your family.

    i just returned from a week in Columbus, Ohio where my Mom has started palliative care. She had cared for my Dad until he took his life in December, inadvertently in front of her. She had a bad fall down concrete steps in March after a TIA and suffered a severe head injury. She came down with Sepsis in August and had her colon removed but she is still chopping wood.

    I stayed in my childhood house this past week with all of the wonderful childhood memories and the unfortunate memories of the past year. Needless to say, after watching the game Saturday from there I will never do that again.

    I hope everyone never takes for granted the time they have with their parents.

    Hate to hear that brother. She’s got the best seat in the house to watch the Dawgs. Buried both my folks some time ago, celebrate their lives and know our end is only the beginning.

    Prayers DC. My time will come too, to have to face this. Blessed to still have both of mine for their 88 years plus, but it's something we all will face and never will be easy, and always more important than trivial things.

    Prayers for you and your mom as well @BobcatGrad.

    It's sad to see posts like this. I'm coming up on 6 years since my Dad passed from Prostate Cancer. You're right, it puts things in perspective for sure. I find myself getting worked up about College Football or some other minor thing a little too often. Thoughts and Prayers for you and your family Sir.
