Stevasaurus Mom

[JCM 9,130]

@stevasaurus     Very sorry to hear of your Moms passing, if she was anything like you she must have had a great sense of humor. I also lost my Mom this past August at 97 years old. Mom would get a taxi to go to the local Tavern for her Johnny Walker Black with only one small ice cube 2 or 3 times a week and play Keno and if She didn't show up the other Patrons would call in case she needed a ride. she was the life of the party. She did this until 6 months before her passing. Again my Sympathy for you and Family.    Take Care.

You guys are something else!!   Let me at least say a little bit about her.  Born in Chicago in 1928...a lot of you guys are not going to know what that date means.  It means that you were a kid during the Depression.  It means that you were a kid after the 1st war to end all wars.  It means that you were going through the 2nd war to end all wars as a teenager.  It meant that you were probably farmed out to relatives or a home to take care of you because your parents could not take care of all of their kids.  My mom and her sister were brought up as cousins...not knowing they were sisters until their 20's.  My Dad's story is pretty much the same.  I have a ton of friends my age, and the story of their parents is always so similar it knocks you out.  My Mom and Dad married at 21...their birthdays are 1 week apart.  They had me the next year...(might be the best thing that happened to them).    Anyway, if you wanted to play TOP THIS for scars, you would not stand a chance.  She was almost bionic...quadruple heart by-pass, both hip replacements and some others that I should keep in the family.  She was strong until the end, and I got to spend her last days with her at her home.  I am blessed that I was able to do that...and I am so happy that she lived a full life...and I am missing her already.  

   She was into the horses, because my Dad bought them and got into a business.  After he passed, she was out there in the shed with me getting the 4 of them out of moth balls and running again.  That's when we found Red Square.  I brought her home a T-Shirt from the 1st Big Show that I went to...and T-Shirts from some of the other shows that were going on during those years.  She always enjoyed looking at all the pictures I brought back to share with her.

   I'll tell you this...if our house would have been near the railroad tracks (back in the day)...the hobo's would have marked her mail box as a safe place to get a good meal and a place to rest.   Rest in Peace Mom...I love you.

Prayers for you, Steve. It's definitely sad to see any family member pass on, but knowing that they lived a long and prosperous life helps ease the pain a bit.

[Pullstart 62,795]

I know where you get your contagious smile from!  Thanks for sharing her story, I’m sure there could be more for days!

[oliver2-44 9,689]

Steve, from the picture  and what you wrote about her I sense you mom was a good Christian woman so may she be at rest with the good Lord now. May you and your family also be blessed and strengthened by our Lord during this time. 

 

As I read your description of her I am spending the night at my moms house to help with a few things.  My mom grew up thru the same things your Mom did.  Those tough times built great parents.  

[stevasaurus 22,709]

Jim...thanks for that.  It is truly amazing how much those people that are/would have been in their late 80's and early 90's had so much in common.  Some history was lost today with her passing, but I also remember a lot of what she told me.  Take the time to listen to what your Mom can tell you.

Condolences and Prayers to you Steve,

sorry to hear from your Loss.

[Stormin 9,981]

My condolences to you and yours, Steve. Looks like she had a good life and good family.

Keep strong big man...

The crazy people in Maine are here for ya.

So sorry Steve. I can see you in her eyes. I lost my Mon 16 yrs. ago almost to the day. If we ever get together for another tailgate session I'm sure they will get together watching us and just shake their heads and laugh. 

[Shynon 7,459]

My condolences Steve, may she rest in piece.

Steve, a lot of us are at the age where we have lost the people who gave us more wisdom and love than we could ever deserve. My dad has been with the Lord for thirty years and my mom went to join him nearly ten years ago. I miss them both, but have faith that they are in a better place and I will see them again in  God's time.

Our parents are truly part of America's Greatest Generation.  We are all blessed to have been taught and raised by them. They are no longer with us, but always in our thoughts. God bless them.
