Kilted for Death

My condolences.

My condolences, Rom. My mother passed away at a similar age, and I was with her when she passed. It is always difficult, and it was before I discovered kilts, so I was unable to wear my Gordon kilt to be with her. As for the paperwork and such, it can seem overwhelming. I know, I was executor for my mother's estate and Administrator for my uncles when he died a few years ago. Just keep working at your own pace and you will get through it. One of my most difficult tasks, was going through all of my mother's things in her empty house, inventorying everything and then assigning a monetary value to each group of items.

Ron, my condolences. I hope you feel better soon.

We lost my Dad, when he was only 51, five years ago, so I have some idea of what you're going through. I'm glad your mother got pleasure from your kilt. My Dad never wore one as he vowed that the first time would be when my brother or I got married.

Hi Ron,

Sorry to hear about your mother. My dad turns 83 on the 10th and my mom turned 82 last month. That is a real concern about my parents and they are in Houston. My Mom & Dad volunteer at a retirement center and help the "Old folks", who are younger than them. We all have to realize we ain't going to live forever.
When my Grandmother passed on She told me Minot her husband who had died 20 years before had visted her before she died and told her to get her stuff in order and he would se her in 3 days. She called me told me of her dream and 3 days latter she passed in her sleep.

So I have No problem about passing on.

It is the living that is the chalenge and the fun.

I have been blessed through this. I was with my Dad when he was dying. I dread the concept of my Mom's passing. But, no other place would I rather be than beside her.

So sorry to hear that Ron, my mother is 86, still going strong, amazing since she smoked until she was 70, then gave it up. Still, 85 is a good run, you must miss her.

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my father 10 years ago just a few days past his 90th. My mother passed on 4 years ago, also a few days past her 90th. Being with her in those last few days was something I am grateful to been able to do. With my father I was not with him for all of his last days due to distance and financial constraints. While they are gone in the physical sense, as long as we remember them they will be with us. Living well is the best legacy we can give them.
