Eddy, thanks for sharing. The time draws near for me as my parent's are getting engulfed by the inexorable truth of life themselves. I only hope that I take to heart your words of wisdom. That I find the time to love those around me. Properly.
God Bless you brother.

There's great wisdom in that post. You are so right.
Your Mom was right to be proud.
Hang in there, my friend.

you have seen it many times before, this is different. odd thing is that writing about it helps, perhaps just a release. i did not think my first post on a motorcycle forum would involve despair. if you have many friends on this forum, talk about it, express it, be mad at it, nothing wrong with any. stay strong for those that need you, my sympathies.

Take care, Buddy. The best you can do is teach your kids what she taught you. She'll live forever that way.

I just got home, we buried Mom this morning. I was not prepared for this one thing, how good it made me feel to hear the words of those expressed here in this post and in PM's that were sent.
Friends I work with that traveled a 100 miles to be at the service. I had no expectations of that and I never imagined that theses simples acts of kind expression would have the impact on me that they did. I always figured...who would want to hear from me? I learned a great deal in this, it does mean something, it means more than a little.
I was not expecting that and I am grateful to all of you. Truly, I am grateful and to those here that I thought about saying something in your time of loss and didn't, I am sorry, I never knew that something so simple could mean so much.
You're all great, top to bottom Thank you.
eddy & Family
