She gave birth to me.
Cleaned my scraped knees.
Wiped my little boy tears.
Taught me that cooking, laundry
and sewing were as important to independence
as any of the tools my father handed me.
Took me to football practice
and bass guitar lessons.
Schlepped my band to gigs.
Supported me in all my dreams.
She gave of her heart.
The heart that fails her now.
Our time is precious and it is coming to an end.
I love you, Mom.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Mothers are so precious.
I know there isn't a whole lot we can do but offer our prayers and condolences. Like Brian says spend as much time as possible. My heart goes out to you Monkey Man I lost my father two years ago and still feel the pain and miss him Tremendously. Just remember my prayers are with you ...
