April 30, 20251 yr That's my Mom Last night I called my Mom because I hadn't heard from her in a few weeks. She sounded terrible and told me she'd been sick for a few weeks. It was obvious that she was having a hard time talking, so I told her that I loved her, and that I'd check on her tomorrow. 15 minutes later my Brother called to tell me that she passed. I told him that I had just hung up from talking to her. He said that makes sense. He's convinced that she was holding on until she could talk to me. I'm so fucking glad that I called when I did!
April 30, 20251 yr My condolences, Steve. I'm glad that you got a last chance to talk with her. RIP Ida Frances Johnson.

April 30, 20251 yr I'm so sorry Steve. It's very tough. My mom went in 2020 and I still creep her Facebook to go back through the old posts and messages. RIP Frances.
April 30, 20251 yr I'm so sorry Steve. My condolences - it is tough. Very tough. May she rest in peace. My Mam went quickly at age 85 in 2008 after breaking her hip in our hallway. I still miss her.
May 2, 20251 yr Jill Sobule died in a house fire(!) She made the good song called "I Kissed A Girl" I vividly remember it from 1995, which was about the last year I liked pop music. That was before the 1996 Telecommunications Act passed, allowing Clear Channel to own fucking everything and ruining radio (and therefore music) forever. UH I MEAN what a catchy folk pop tune.
May 2, 20251 yr So sorry for your loss Steve. As others have said, mother-sons bonding is very real. It was nice that you were able to speak with her.
May 3, 20251 yr Late condolences, Steve. Can’t really even imagine. I’m so very glad that you were able to speak with her and were able to get some closure.
