We didn't talk for a day, the following day, she called me at work, said she wasn't feeling well.. I thought she was faking, but drove over there, cause that was so out of character for her..she WAS. I'll, i took her to the ER and she ( who had been healthy as a horse), was dead within 24 hours.. I regret my actions so, that I cannot even tell you how much...Ford, don't let it play out???call her.... Please

OMG, that brought tears to my eyes. I hope you had enough time to make amends and express your love. What a shock and a tragedy.

I know she knew how much I loved her, but it all happened so fast, She was basically incoherent almost the whole time she was in the hospital....I just wish I could go back and erase that whole episode...

Believe me, there are so many episodes in my life that I wish I could go back and "erase." However, I am sure your mom knew you loved her, and what matters is that you did love her and you know that she loved you too.

Ford, oh yes, everything is great. Our one son is very serious and the other so laid back. Different as night and day. I don't tell either one what to do but I will suggest something. Sometimes they will take it well, other times not so much.

I never had a daughter but I think most of our grown children want to make up their own minds. Wish they would take our advice at times because I know we don't want them to go through some of the c**p we have had to endure.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
