My mom passed away at 58 years of age on  August 1, 2001--10 monrhs after my Dad passed away at the same age.  Tough times.  My point---take nothing for granted. Call/visit Mom today because time is limited

My mom has had a rough few years physically and emotionally after spending the better part of 5 years caring after her mother-in-law, her own parents, and her sister who had down's syndrome and passed away at 58 years old.

it's hard looking at your mom and realizing that she is now in her 70s and not in good health. i had the benefit of having 3/4 of my grandparents until i was in my 30s. my two daughters won't get that privilege because i waited until i was in my late 30s to start having kids. fortunately i am in a situation where my kids get to see my parents daily. i just wish that they were going to get to see a more lively version of my mom. years of caring for others took their toll on her.

i'm just going to have to keep sharing stories about the vitality she had along with the strength that she showed in all she did with the hopes that at some point in the near future they get to see a glimpse of that for themselves.

remember who your mom is/was and allow that to make an impact on who you are and use her story to hopefully infuence those who come later to become better people. mom's are a true (and often under-appreciated) blessing.

i'm just glad i have a wife who is a remarkeable woman who has become an amazing mom to our kids (and, many times to me who can act like a baby).

I was a sh!thead, so this day is no different than any day for me. I think about her every day. Bitter sweet day... July 25, 2011. The day the lockout ended. She was a huge Bears fan, and now finally the Cubs are looking for real. So I'm a legacy Cubs fans because of her. Wearing the hat everyday.

Nov 25th 2005. Talk about a rough Thanksgiving. Aneurysm out of the blue. 

I'm not sad though. She was a bad ass and I'm thankful I had her as a mother. 

It's also my fiancé's first Mother's Day as a mom so it's a great day again. 

Gonna buy some roses for her, for mom and for Lola (Filipino Grandma). 

Happy Mother's Day to the few and proud Huddle Moms on this board.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
