The Most Power-Drunk
I thought about simply posting this in the existing thread, but I want to be sure all of you see it. I cannot express how much it means to me and my family to view the three pages of condolences and well-wishes from all of you "perfect strangers". I took the liberty of showing my father the thread, and he was deeply touched, as was I. I want to thank you all, from myself and my family, for all the prayers, thoughts, well-wishes, etc. which were expressed by posters here towards my mother and my family.
My mother had been fighting cancer for over 8 years at the time of her passing last week. She had been given 6 months or less to live on at least three prior occasions, and every time she beat the odds. I know none of you knew her personally, but please believe that she was the most courageous and faithful person I have ever met. She saw 3 weddings (mine and my two brothers) and 6 grandchildren in the time since she was first given a 3-6 month prognosis (December of 1996). She had a type of list, which were simply things she wanted to see completed or done before she left this world. The last item on her list was seeing and holding my child, which she was able to do on two separate occasions. I feel I am rambling, but I wanted to give you all some insight into the battle my mother had fought, along with some insight into the person she was. If she was still here, she would undoubtedly thank you all herself for helping to "take care" of her son. As she isn't, I will do it for her. Thank you all. It really does make a difference.
