To keep her family and her business running, she copied her to-do list two or three times a day onto a new sheet of paper. My Dad thought she was nuts (and I sort of agreed), but her to-do list and her regimen had a lot to do with her success.

It was Dec 24th and I had gotten a really cool plastic submarine (of course with U.S.S.R. stickers).

My mother is in a nursing home in Houston, TX, since she has advanced Parkinson\'s, which she\'s had for over 30 years.  She\'s lost virtually every close person in her life; my middle brother three days after birth, both parents by age 30 and my dad suddenly in 1981.  She\'s fought the steady decline of her disease, including finally needing to be in a nursing home for her own safety.  She had a beautiful voice and was called all over the U.S. to sing, but her voice is a shell of what it once was.  Despite all of this she continues to live with dignity and perhaps even that stubborness that kept her going through all the pain and loss.<br><br>What I most remember about my mom is that despite all of the things she could complain about, she reaches out to others in their pain.  I, like you, don\'t know how much longer my mother has on earth, but the memories that she\'s given me and to my children will continue into the current and future generations.<br><br>Loss is difficult and even more so with those we love so much, but the good memories heal the pain over time.  I recommend that you pick up one of Elizabeth Kubler Ross\'s books as you go through the stages of grief.<br><br>All the best in thoughts and prayers.</div>\

You made the right decision NOT to go.There are more important things to do than miss a conference. Your most important being is to be holding and focusing on your MOTHER, the person who gave you LIFE!<br>Finally in closing you will not miss being the conference keynote. God has arranged<br>for your keynote to be made via your blog.<br>Your blog is more than a keynote it is a living testimony to the POWER of bloging, by allowing your many friends to share their love and wisdom with you, when you need it the most.No keynote speech can compare to what you have allowed us to share with you and each other. We are truly a family. Thanks for letting us see the spririt of each blogger in their post. We are more than words,because now we see the flesh and blood and the tears of the BLOGGING.<br>My prayers are with you and your FAMILY.<br>May God continue to strengthen you!</div>\

I still remember the shape: It looks like what you\'d see if Moses\' two commandment tablets were connected together... three sides of a square, and two-rounded humps on top. Dark brown crust, and white bread inside.<br><br>Mom tells me that the bread makes a sound when you squeeze it. "Here, listen," she says, holding the slice of bread near my ear. From the corner of my eye, I see her fingers slowly pinching the bread, and then I hear an ever-so-soft <em>kssssssh!</em><br><br>The bread\'s amazing! It *does* make a sound!!<br><br>I don\'t remember what I exclaimed, or whether my jaw dropped or anything. I just know that this is amazing. Okay, I\'ll bet my eyes grow wide in disbelief.<br><br>I probably say, "Do it again!" and she does. <em>ksssssh!</em><br><br>She pinches it several times, each time I hear the <em>ksssshhh.</em><br><br>Somewhere into this, I grow skeptical. Was it because I glanced at her mouth, and see that it\'s shaped like kssssh? I don\'t know, but unbelief takes over the disbelief.<br><br>I accuse her: "You\'re making the sound!"<br><br>"No, it\'s the bread," she says. "Here, listen again." <em>kssssssh.</em><br><br>I watch her mouth, closely. My attention is no longer on the bread. Her lips move ever-so-slightly when she presses the bread. The <em>ksssssh</em> is coming from <em>her</em>.<br><br>My mother, subtle smartass. (and I wonder where I got it from!)</div>\

She died in her sleep and everyone tells me that\'s the best way to go.  There is no best way - they all suck.  I never had the chance to tell her goodbye, but then I didn\'t have to see her waste away like many do.  The bottom line is that it\'s tough to lose anyone you love.  Fortunately I told my Mom "I love you" at the end of a phone call two days before she died.  They turned out to be the last words she ever heard me say.<br><br>To anyone reading this: tell the people you love that you love them.  They need to hear it and you need to say it.</div>\

Any organization or person that would not support you in that decision is not worth supporting.  Like another poster said, how many more times will you have to hold your mother\'s hand? vs how many more conferences and speaking opportunities will you have? Do let what may have occured in the past affect any decision you make now. These memories will be with you the rest of your life. The confernece?  In a year no one will care.</div>\

See, I lost my Mom this past November after a 3+ year battle with Cancer. Regarding your "should I stay or go" dilemma, you absolutely must stay with her. I say this because, even though she would tell you to go, you will be giving up precious moments with her that you will never regain. The night my Mom passed, I was supposed to work (I\'m a musician, had a gig booked). I never cancel a gig. Never. I cancelled that night and am eternally grateful that I did. Being there with her when this happens will both bring you (and your family) a great deal of peace. But it will also be important to your Mom. She knows you\'re there, and she\'ll continue to know. So do what you know is right man.</div>\

She outweighs all the people at every conference you\'ll attend or speak at -- combined.<br><br>I am 49 years old, and I am really quite fortunate that both my mom and dad are alive. Mom is 74 and my Dad will be 80 in a few weeks. They are active and engaged in their world and in their children and grandchildren.<br><br>Best memories of my Mom:<br>-- Often, the most recent memory. For example, I have been meditating often lately. Mom sent me some on-target meditation manuals.<br>-- Recently, I have been trying again to stay on top of my "to-do" list. I have the advantage of all the modern technology (I use Iambic\'s Agendus for Palm an d for Windows). But in the 1960s and 1970s, Mom had only yellow legal pads. To keep her family and her business running, she copied her to-do list two or three times a day onto a new sheet of paper. My Dad thought she was nuts (and I sort of agreed), but her to-do list and her regimen had a lot to do with her success. When I remembered those yellow legal pads a few months ago, I realized -- oh, maybe 40 years late -- what a great role model she was/is and how she maintained an active "to-do" list without any personal technology. They organized her busy life.<br>-- My Mom and Dad are inseperable. I have to remember the love they show for each other.<br><br>My dearest memory is of my mother\'s mother, who died eight years ago last week. My Grandma Bunnee in her last few decades became accepting and tolerant. Most of all, she encouraged me to reach higher. When cell phones first came out, I used to call her almost every night on my drive home. I miss her every day.<br><br>Keep holding your Mom\'s hand, Robert. She\'s still there for you and will be to the end of her days.<br><br>-- dtd</div>\

I am confident she left to be with her Lord and Savior, and is in a far better place today.  Spend every waking second you can with her...take it from me, you will remember them and treasure them for the rest of your life.  Make sure she knows how much you love her.  Apologize for the things that have haunted you growing up.  Tell her your thoughts, dreams and aspirations.  Love her as much as you can, mate.  I pray that your time together in the days ahead are blessed with clarity of thought and full of remembrance of happy times together.  I also pray that she knows her Savior and is ready to meet Him.
