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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
