March 13, 201610 yr Sometimes a song lyric fits the moment so well.. "I got the call today, I didn't want to hear but I knew that it would come"Though technically it was yesterday... got to head back to Ohio this week and plan a funeral...and I just feel numb...
March 13, 201610 yr Author My Mother passed, age 85..16 years after my Dad. We were somewhat estranged, hadn't spoken much in recent months. Just kind of numb right now, not sure what to think...flying back there in a couple days.
March 13, 201610 yr Hang tough Moltar, not easy under most any circumstances, but a part of life. 85 is a good long run. Hope things go smoothly back home.
March 13, 201610 yr Author The hardest part will be having to deal w/ my older brother..he doesn't 'have both oars in the water' as the funeral home director put it kindly yesterday..my sister and I are flying back Tuesday, my Mom's surviving sister and brother coming in from Kentucky and Tennessee, some cousins also.

March 13, 201610 yr Sorry to hear about that buddy. My sincerest condolences. I know how you feel... Its been exactly 2 weeks that I received the news about my mommy. Hang in there. Grieve the way you wanna grieve. Grieve as much as you want, however you want. And just stand tall and proud because we only have one momma.
March 14, 201610 yr Moltar, I am sorry to hear about your mother. No, we cannot pick our family, but times like these serve to remind us where we come from, warts and all. Please take care and travel safe.
March 14, 201610 yr So sorry...sending prayers to you and the family. Stuff like this is never easy......
