What?!?!

My Mother, 1941-2011
Mom left us May 25th. She was a very young 70. Always very loving, gentle, her home was always open any time and showed me what unconditional love means. She would worry beyond reason for one's safety. She knew it was a little extreme but she'd say "If I don't worry, who will?".
She'd give you her last nickle, without question. She'd come to AZ and visit a couple times a year for a few weeks stay. Those times were the best. I'd cook for her, bring her whatever she needed and she'd say "Wow, look at this! I don't have to do anything when I come to AZ." Followed by her laugh. I debated about posting this but many of you are good friends.

70 is simply too young. My folks are that age.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Don, My sympathy. Those of us whose parents are gone know the hurt.

Don,
Sorry to hear about your mom. I've lost several family members over the years and my mom was definitely the toughest loss. Sounds like your mom was as good as they come... knowing what kind of person YOU are, that doesn't surprise me. Let's get together for lunch after things settle down for you. Take care, my friend.

Don,
Thanks for posting. 'She'd come to AZ and visit a couple times a year for a few weeks stay. Those times were the best. I'd cook for her, bring her whatever she needed and she'd say "Wow, look at this! I don't have to do anything when I come to AZ." Followed by her laugh.' That says so much. Keep memories like that close. Les

Thanks everyone. It's definitely hard to get used to. We'd talk on the phone a lot.
Somebody once said "This, too, shall pass". Lee, I'll call you soon.
