    Chris, you're not only a great man, but a loving son, husband, and father. Your mom knew this too. She left this world comforted by this, knowing that you'll continue to hold her spirit close to your heart and share it with others.

    I got to spend the day with her, holding her hand. I wish I had gotten longer. I had no idea.

    I'm the elder in my family now.

    If your parent or parents are still alive, call them, talk to them, hug them, don't take them for granted because when they are gone they are gone.

    I still talk to my mom at times when I think of her...I don't pray but it is sort of a prayer or at least helps keep her in my heart.

    Sorry for your loss, I'm dealing with aging parents myself, and they've rapidly aged in the last 5 years. Dad has an unknown kind of cancer, and mom broke her hip a while back and is still recovering.

    It sucks, but I've had friends who lost their parents when they were kids and I've been lucky enough to have both of my parents and Im almost 50.

    My thoughts are with them. My mom was getting older too, I just thought she'd have more time.
