    I wish I had paid for my Mom's cell phone bill just to be able to call and hear the recording of her voice.

    I bought a subscription for my daughter that was kind of cool and morbid at the same time for Christmas. www.gonenotgone.com

    Send family emails, pictures, voice recordings, and video after you are gone. They email you monthly, and when you quit responding, the system kicks in to deliver your messages to loved ones at predetermined dates you program. Some services also offer admin type service where loved ones can help deliver messages on non specific future dates like first born, weddings, etc. Can be as far as 25 years into the future. One offered free format changes to videos for the future since it assumed some formats used today will be obsolete.

    What a cool and crappy gift to give all at the same time. She liked it though because writing letters is getting difficult.

    This thread is tearing me up now both meanings of the word. KB24's description of your mom's love (the sane ones) was beautiful.

    Im dealing with the same thing now (mom's cancer). My dad is doing everything he can to help and just be there. He cooks, he cleans, he's taking her to every doctor possible. I gaineg a lot of respect for him, A LOT. Might be a good time to tell him that, after mom is gone we'll both break down.

    Prayers for you brother. It's a difficult journey, but also a blessing that you have an opportunity to make sure nothing is left unsaid.

    I agree with a lot of what you say. My dad passed away when I was 12 years old after a long battle with a stroke 2 years prior where he couldn't talk, had some brain damage due to the stroke. He was in there, could hear us but his facial expressions and state was not great at all. When he passed away it was like a deep sigh that my mom, our family, and I let out. He's finally he's at peace and we could move forward. Those two and a half years my mom having to move him to different parts of the state of CA to better recovery centers, being away from her for months and months at a time staying at friends houses or at our own home with a family friend.

    A quick, sudden death even though is very painful and hurts worse at the moment can be better in some cases. Our family has experience with that as well. My mom losing her brother (my favorite uncle of the ones in our family) from an off roading accident the day after she retired (10 years ago).... I'll leave it at that and won't get into it but I've seen it both ways.

    RIP to Michael and his family. Mom's are awesome, well said @KB24

    Well said, and my condolences.

    Sadly, you have to be prepared for this stuff because they will eventually happen to everyone one way or another.

    The human nature has to deal with losses...most people will see generations pass the torch and leave us...if you are lucky, you see generations pass chronologically (oldest dies first) and if you are unlucky, you'll see younger loved ones pass away ahead of their parents, grandparents etc.

    The older the person is, the easier to deal with it because you get used to the idea that "they enjoyed a good life".

    But even putting freak accidents aside, there are so many illnesses, cancers and what not....it's eventually going to hit every family and it is always difficult. The worst thing is that regardless of WHO gets into trouble, it touches the lives of everyone around him. In other words...not only do you have to cross fingers to stay healthy, you also have to cross your fingers for everyone you love to stay healthy as well....I honestly think it makes no difference if I get cancer or my wife or my niece or my brother...my sadness is going to be the same.


    You can really consider yourself very lucky if you get to 70 without a serious illness to deal with, let alone all these strange diseases that exist out there. You can consider yourself amazingly lucky if also people around you stay healthy without a serious disease, accident etc.

    The thing that human beings are good at is "ignoring" the risks and eventualities and living a life without worrying every day. This is a blessing, otherwise nobody would be happy in this world knowing they will die anyways, its just a question of when.

    So nice to see Beaz channeling his energy tonight after all he's been going through with his mom. He was outstanding and a huge reason we pulled out this win.

    agreed, I love the scoring punch he provides that second unit. Very valuable and has saved us the last few games.

    I haven’t added this one on the site yet, but this is the direct link

    There are WAY too many to put on the site’s smiley menu, so the boss picks the most relevant ones likely to be used to appropriately express oneself in good taste

    :Brows:

    Therefore I needed another place to put the other ones

    I root for him every time he hits the floor for obvious reasons.

    I also think he’s playing really well and showing how he can contribute
