Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Have not been on here in a while. Life is busy. Truck was road tuned yesterday. So we are off to interior. Two weeks until the truck is complete. Feeling very discouraged that my mom will not get to see the final product. She has lost the battle and will most likely be gone in the next two weeks. One of the tougher things we have been through as a family. My dad and I have accepted it and we will try to celebrate her life. My dad will most likely live out his life with a broken heart. I know we are just one of millions that have been effected by this horrible disease. Hold your kids close and tell your parents what they mean because you may not get a second chance. I will be at the brothers show at the end of the month. Unless my moms services are that weekend. Again thanks for all the support I appreciate it. I will let you guys no where we are in a few weeks. Thanks and take care.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Sorry to hear about your mom. She certainly put up a good fight. I guess now all you can do is make sure she is comfortable. All of you are in my prayers.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this, it really sucks! I lost my mom in '94, 2 days after my birthday. I think about her all of the time and how proud she would be of her grandson that she last saw when he was 3. Also, the 2 little granddaughters she never got to meet (my brothers kids). she wanted so badly to be a grandmother but only got to enjoy it for 3 years. It makes me sad that my son will forget & my nieces will never have known what a wonderful person she was.

Although the pain of the loss will get easier to deal with as time goes on, it never goes away. I am crying my eyes out right now just thinking of the pain you are going through and remembering how difficult it was for me & my family. Try to be strong for your dad, he will need a lot of attention once she is gone. He is losing the love of his life.

Sorry for the long post. My thoughts will be with you and your family.

Mike
