Thoughts of Mom

This blog section will be where I come when I think of Mom.
That should fill volumes, for I think of her so very often.

We had a good relationship. Now that she is gone, I have
the same regrets of many. I regret not calling her as often
as I thought of her. I regret the time lost between us as
I was raising my own children and not conversing very well
with Mom. I regret that I took her advice as criticisim way
too often. I regret that we were not as close as we should
have been. The biggest regret is that she never got to
meet her Great Grandson Tyler Allen.

One thing I do not regret is the time I spent with her
during her last days. We did not know they were her
last days, we truly thought she would come through this
illness like she had so many others.

I spent time with her, holding her hand, touching her hair.
Talking about her Grand children and my new grandson.

Seeing her tease the Nurses no end, and the Doctors.
Watching her keep her sense of humor when it was all
that truly remained of my mother. She told us all a joke
just before she started to leave us. "What you all looking
so Glum about?" were her last words to us. Of course we
laughed and she had her result.

I suppose wherever she is now, she is still the Comedian.
Can't you see, Mom? You play to a Full House now!
