Condolences my friend.
I understand what your going threw. I lost my father 10 years ago, and my mom is in frail health herself at nearly 70 years of age.
Stay strong
Chin up my friend.
It sounds like she would want you to.
Thanks all for everything you said and sharing your own losses. STay strong and positive as I am trying/doing.
She’s still living on I can say that not only in our hearts but in everything she passed.
Thanks again all,
Phill
Phill, you’re a good man. Thanks for sharing with us.
Being the only child to a single mother, I can’t imagine life without my mom. Your mom sounds like she was an amazing woman and reminds me a lot of my own mother. Stay strong and know that she’s still with you.
Off to make a phone call. . .
Phil, Gregatgron, ProfX,
I pray you find and maintain the peace and comfort knowing your “moms” will be eternally loved and cared for.

LOL couldnt think what the heck to bring she was never a flower gal etc so well I brought her what she always begged me for and I rarely broke down and let her have. One of those blasted sugar and cream ladden crappa frappa chino’s She love her Coffee and those damn things as well.
Thanks again all and yes everyone stay strong with those youve lost. Take it day by day and just try and make the best of it all we can do. The ends there sure its coming for us all but damn cant dwell on it.
Keep on rollin,
Phill
Just to echo everyone else, you are truly carrying on the most important legacy - leading a good and purposeful life.
I’m glad you took the time to share this with us. I think that in all the talk about getting huge, getting cut, 600lb deads and contst prep, we forget that the most important reason for the lifetsyle choices we make are to lead a healthy life for ourselves and those we love.
You are doing great things, Phil. I know your Mom must be peaceful and proud.
Lost my Dad to cancer 6 years ago, and the silver lining is shining brighter every day.
Thanks so much for the perspective.

Wow, I’ve never thought about it that way! I also lost my dad to cancer - it’s been 8 years, he was 50 years old. On good days I can realize how special he was and just try my best to live his example and pass it along to my son, neices and nephew. However, there are days, although they are becoming less frequent, I get so angry that my son will not know how special his grandpa was.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see this situation in a different light and a more positive way.

Thanks for your post great!!!
Yes I agree about the living life etc. Im doing just as I always talked to her about and well much of it was learned from her as well of course being a huge influnce. But all we can really do is live by and for what we know and feel is best. Not by others expectations.
Even me I cant and wouldnt live by hers/moms if she tried to impose them on me. Though she never would. We have to find our way, what, who, etc,. truely makes us happy and lived for it get it. live for the real thing whats real to you. Im becoming better and better at that.
Not living by all those imposed you should but break out of that darn society imposed mold and into the one that fits you. So heck I probably am living by or trying to live by her expectations for me by taking what I learn, and live for me and those I care for, and things I care about.
again thanks for the post and to everyone,
Phill
keep the memories alive my friend. physical things may leave us, but spiritual things keep us going
I remember reading your post when she passed I was sad for you looking at all the pic’s posted up of her in that t-vixen hat and tank and you being so close to her. I am not close to anyone in my family I havent seen my mom in a couple years now I wish it was different. Your mother raised an extremely creative kid If I could only put my thought’s on paper like you do I might be better understood at times lol…stay strong bro

I’m sure that wherever she is, she is so incredible proud of you, ive know very little about you, but after seeing how much you care about your mother, i’m sure you are the kind of T-man that every one at this site could learn a lesson from. God bless man, this thread will stay with me for a while, i hope it just shows us all how we should appreciate those that we love while we have them here with us.

Thanks again all
Above all Im glad to see that this whole experience her passing what we went through and what others share may be helping others. That means a LOT to me and would mean tons to mom. That even though shes gone some how she can still help ppl.
thanks again
stay strong all
Phill
