@914Dawg I am so very sorry for your loss. Prayers of comfort and healing for you, and your family. May you feel our loving God's presence at this time. I lost my mother on the last day of July 2018, and shared my loss here in the forum back then. The good folks here in our Dawgnation helped me through that time too. I posted a thread back then (it's still here) called "Saying goodbye to my mama" . This really is a great forum of people, that I feel is like a real family. Again, I hope you find strength, and comfort in this time, and always have those cherished memories.
Some good did come from it:
Many of us are talking about reaching out to our loved ones while we are able.
And, your mom is looking down from heaven, illness free, at her family and friends.
That’s a lot of good.
So excited to be heading back down to my "happy place" this weekend: ATH! I really need some fun/diversion.
Will be checking out UGA Lacrosse's first home game against UF - Saturday, 2/8 at 7pm - UGA Club Sports Complex, 2435 S. Milledge Ave. My Son plays on the team. Go Dawgs!
Lacrosse is a great game (combination of Hockey/Soccer) - its fast-paced and exciting. I played growing up on Long Island, but I know it's been expanding all over the country. Come check it out if you're around.
Just met Doug here at the Breakfast table at the agriculture invention in New Jersey. His mom was a delegate but last night she fell and hit her head.
His dad passed last year and his wife five years ago. In 2009 all their dairy cows, The entire herd, moved to the lowest point in the valley that they could. Next thing you know a tornado hits and destroyed four of the five buildings.
there was nothing at the Breakfast table thatDoug could eat because last week he had stomach surgery
Here I was wondering why my life wasn’t more normal because it’s been a big deal just to get our youngest out the door in the morning
So very sorry for your loss. My dear friend was diagnosed with AML on Friday and passed away on Tues. You are blessed to have had time with her at the end, and your eulogy will surely inspire others to reach out.
Just a heads up - b/c of weather messing up field, tonight’s lacrosse game has been moved to Lambert HS at 7:30. Next home game is on 3/2 vs, Mich Stare at 5pm.
I am bumping this post because today (6-21-2020) my Mom would have turned 80 years old. I haven’t posted in many months - thankfully my family has been safe and I hope yours is too. On my Mom’s birthday, I’m thinking about how right she turned out to be about finding the positive in every situation. (If you are interested and have not read it, please scroll up to my original very long post and eulogy excerpt).
I cannot believe the good fortune it was for my Mom to have passed just before the world turned upside down w/COVID. What a blessing we (and she) were given to be able to say our goodbyes and gain that closure. I have friends (and am sure you do to) that have lost love ones recently and not been able to be by their side and to pay tribute to them in a manner that they had expected. I grieve for all those that have passed alone and I hurt for their families. My Mom was such a kind and gentle soul who saw the best in everyone and the positive in all situations. We could all use more of that today and every day.
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads. Be well Dawgnation and Go Dawgs!
Happy Father's Day 914. Great message. Thanks for sharing.
@914Dawg Go Dawgs
Thanks 914, I needed that today. God bless you and your family and happy Father’s Day.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family @914Dawg - thinking of your mother and those who loved her in the days & weeks to come.
Thanks for sharing - a love of all things UGA bring us together here, but it's stuff like this that brings us closer as a DN community -
It takes courage @914Dawg to open up and tell a personal family story like this to people on the Internet. I'm sorry for your loss, but happy you were able to comfort you mother in the end and put your relationship into a new perspective.
@Casanova_Flatulence and @razorachilles - feels really good to share in the hopes that it could make a difference to at least a few here. Go Dawgs!
