She helped me pick up my first bike, a 65cc Benelli when I was 14 years old. She drove me to a rental in the next town over at 16 so I could buy a used RD250 from a stranger. She helped me work out a deal at 17 for my 125cc Benelli Panther. I helped her move out of her third husbands house while he was at work and she let me park my bike in the kitchen of our new apartment. She got helmets, gloves, boots and warm clothes for my riding. My Panther was yellow and black, so she knitted a matching neck scarf for me. After I got out of the military i picked up an old CB550four. Mom runs me to a bike shop to get Jardine slipons and other parts. She liked my Uly.
We had a very different relationship. While always supportive of each other, we did not agree with each others choices. The distance I've maintained in relationships came us. Today will be difficult. Please, say a prayer. Thanks.

Lost my Mum 13 years ago, & like you we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff.

My thoughts are with you mate, the hole in your life doesn't get any smaller, but you learn to navigate around it.

All the best to you.

I'm glad you're on this earth with us Ray. She'll always be with you in spirit.

Your profile pic says it all.

Ride in peace, Mom.

Ourdee, thoughts are going to be there all day, the prayers are already said.
I've almost lost my Mom a couple of times. Even though she is in failing health and we know what's coming, it brings tears to my eyes to even think about it.
You may have had a odd relationship but she knew you loved her and you loved her. That's what counts.

Sorry for your loss. She obviously cared very much for you. You have some fond memories of her,use them to carry you through the rough patches.
Prayers said.

Condolences and prayers to you.Lost my mom in '05.She was way cool,laid back and easy going(had to with the 5 of us kids.Me being the oldest).There is no set time to mourn-one day you'll wake up and "it will be time to on" but you will always have her memories with you.I still do and will till i"depart".May you remember her and hold on to the times the two of you had together.LT

I am very sorry for your loss. My mom is living with me now and is driving me nuts,... but this post actually helps me put my situation in a somewhat better perspective. I will try to be more understanding and take my mom to dinner, just her and I where I will let her talk her head off (and I will listen).

She'll now be watching you from afar my friend, so be sure to thank her every day for what she was and what she did for you. You turned out well shown by your post. My sympathies are with you. God Bless, Bob

I buried my mom last year. She suffered stage four cancer for seven years. That's a long fight. She sent me gun and motorcycle magazines when I was in boot camp. That was my only diversion. When I actually got a motorcycle she threatened to disown me. A good slap and she was over it. That's usually all it took

I feel for you, but they will always be with us.

Saturday I road the S2T 300 miles to surprise my mother on her 80th birthday.When my dad passed in '95 it brought home how important family is.Before that event I had never told either parent how important they were to me.Now I don't miss an opportunity to tell my mother how much I love her.

Your in my prayers.
