While an accident isn't the ideal way to reconnect with family, maybe the ultimate plan was for exactly that..to have time with your mother before her passing. I always have weird thing that trigger memories too.. Stacie 0==(D) I guess it’s true..things happen for a reason.

My wife and I had just married. She took care of me only like a mother could've. While I'm not glad I had the accident and the retained hardward, I am glad for the time we had and the bonding that took place. Touching story man.

I'm also glad that you were not able to come in the end. It would have clouded the happy memories you had with her. It all worked out for the best. Funny to see this post. I think she's been trying to make herself known to us. My daughter found a tiny photo album and all of the photos tied in with the same idea that she knew she was very sick. Photo of her seagulls (she gave me a book Johnathan Livingston Seagull that birthday), a photo of her rosary and an inspirational saying, a photo of herself, and a photo of the kids. I just got the skin crawling sensation when I saw that. Love you bro! That was one of the things I was very happy about, I was glad you got that chance to be with her.

Every once in awhile, something will strike me funny about my father. I stand there for a minute lost in my own head, remembering. And then it's gone again. A smell or a sound or an object and he's right there. Strange. ~L. Isn’t it strange they way we make those kinds of associations? Every once in awhile, something will strike me funny about my father.

My dad was a long term dialysis patient and when he decidid he'd had enough he cheked into the Hospital to check out. We had a chance to get all the things said that we needed to for closure.

My father died last May. It's a feeling that's hard to describe. Sorry to hear about your mother dying. My father died last May. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe.
