I hope this isn't out of line...

Thank you all for you thoughts! Speaking of memories, my mother was deathly scared of water. Couldn't take a shower because she didn't like the water hitting her in the face. But she has chosen to be cremated and her ashes scattered... you guessed it... on the lake. She loved the being on the lake as much as we did even if she couldn't swim. I would take her for a ride and she would sit in the bottom of the boat because she couldn't stand to see how close we were to the water. She did that for me because she knew how much I love being on the lake. She was a special lady.

I was just rereading this thread @Jim Robeson. I thought that was a great memory of your mom sitting at the bottom of your boat, despite her fear of water, just to be with you on your boat. Thanks for sharing and reaching out to your JB family.

I lost my mom Wednesday morning. It was very sudden but she did not suffer and I know she is in a better place. The only reason I even posted this here is because I feel like I have made some friends here even though I have never met you all. It has been a difficult time for myself and my family. I have never watch someone pass before and I am having a difficult time not thinking about what we had to do. To make things harder I am at loss for words to help comfort my father. They were married 53 years and as you can imagine he is broken hearted. I have told him that this is something that will not go away soon and that even 5 years from now this will still hurt. Hell, I can't hardly think about some of the private times that my mom and I had without getting checked up. I am sorry if I have misused this forum for something like this but I have grown to love reading and learning from everyone here and consider all of you a friend.

Jim,

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Not out of line to share, sometimes just to write and express yourself does provide solace. Thinking of you and your family.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My parents have been married for 52 years and I can't even begin to imagine what I would tell my Dad or think of how to console him after something like this happens. You and your family are in my prayers. Just spend time with your Dad and be there for him.
