Real Life - My mom passed last night

A quick note for my friends here.  My mom passed away last night after a long struggle with dementia.  She had a stroke earlier this week, and I had to make some very difficult choices.  She is at peace now.  Her children and grandchildren were all here to be with her.  We are sad but relieved. 

I don't mean to bring anyone down or harm the io fun, but I know a lot of us are getting to the age where these real-life big things happen.  Sad, but the fun and distraction here helps. 

My mom was never into gaming at all.  I don't recall her ever once picking up a joystick or paddle.  But she never said no to buying new games now and then, and I think she loved seeing her kids having fun. 

Watching "Star Trek" was always funny with mom.  She would recoil at any kind of aliens and never finish an episode!

I remember once she went with us to see Jaws in the theater, and I'm pretty sure that was the LAST time she ever went. 

Lots of good memories.

2024 has not been kind to us, but what can you do but keep moving forward and take things as they come.  Anyway, thanks everyone here for the support and for reading this far.  Peace to all.  Stick together my friends.  Be kind to everyone.

Ugh so sorry to hear this. My mom passed years ago way to young due to lung cancer, I was devistated. Your mom is at peace now and yes we are all at the age now sadly where it's getting more common. I try to make the most and appreciate the little things more and tell my wife everday I love her in an attempt to not have regrets. You and yours are in my thoughts Rick, feel free to message me if you ever want to chat or you just want someone to listen.
