So yesterday, I had a tough day dealing with the hospital, hospice and Medicare.
Deej's promotion really gave me a major lift yesterday and by the time all was said and done, I was smiling and laughing. And I cannot thank the Sniper, deej and the rest of the folks for that enough. It was much needed and appreciated.

This morning at 3:15 am, my mother finally succumbed to her illnesses and passed away.
She is no longer suffering or in pain.

Now the work starts on getting things squared away, organized and finalized.
This evening, I will light up a AF Queen B as a tribute.

    My thoughts and condolences go out for you, Tony. Losing a parent is hard but, as you say, she is no longer in pain and is in a better place. I'm very sorry for your loss.

    Sorry to hear about your mother. Let me know how you like the Queen B. I just picked one up last week as a random grab.

    Sorry for your loss, happy for her relief, cringing thinking about the work you have ahead of you. If there's anything I can help with, let me know, I've just gone/am going through all of this myself.

    But while you smoke that cigar, forget everything else. Find a happy memory of her and fixate there. Try to expand to more, but come back to that one when it gets difficult. Try to live there for that hour or two. Return when you can/need later.

    It's a tough thing dealing with the loss of a parent. I lost my mom when I was only 22, that was almost 30 years ago and yet it feels like yesterday. It's the great memories and sharing with family and friends that keep her spirit close to you at all times. My prayers to you and your family Tony.

    Thank you everyone. I really appreciate it. I mean I sincerely appreciate everyone here.
    A lot of work ahead. Dealing with the state and all of the rest of her affairs.
    My brothers and sisters shocked me by sending me messages about how much they appreciate everything I have done for them and my mother. I had not thought I had. It was not something I gave much consideration about. I just did what had to be done.
