My heart is very heavy tonight. It so very tough to write this but so absolutely necessary. I must announce that I lost my mom yesterday. It hurts so bad. That phone call, the one that comes in the very wee hours of the morning, was made to me yesterday. Oh my heart is heavy. I walk the floors of where I now live, talking to my mom. I'm sure he hears me. I'm sure she knows just how much I loved her. I shake my head, I take deep sighs, I know I've not lost the greatest woman who ever loved me. She gave me everything. Undying love and support, words of wisdom in troubled times. For those of you who have lost your mother or father, you know of what I speak.

My insides are trembling now. I'm thinking so much of times me and my mom shared. I flash from one picture to the next; one memory to the next. Each time I realize now how I'll never see my mom again. Her expressions, her voice, everything I vividly remember is so painfully now a memory. It hurts.

I had to travel over to her Facebook page. You know I just had to. I find it so hard to look at a picture of my mom and see the very faced that loved me so so much. I'm not good at typing a eulogy but I guess that's what this is.

For those of you who knew my mom, let me tell you that you made a difference in her life. Even if it was just for one brief moment, I can say she enjoyed meeting you. She did. She enjoyed meeting people. Friends and acquaintances, anyone who I even spoke of she would; when we talked, would often ask me about. She just enjoyed talking about and finding out about people.

She made so many friends. I want to thank each and every one of you out there that made a difference in my mom's life. I thank you so very much for making her happy. I thank you for anything; even if it was the smallest of things, that made my mom happy. Believe me, it made her day!

It is so painful to type this. For anybody who has not told that special person in your life that you love them; please do so now. Do it the very first chance you get.

Yesterday, was so very difficult. My mind was racing everywhere. Moments in time seem to last forever. Time moved so slow yet; you have to do what needs to be done. Conversations, phone calls, decisions, all seem to have the weight of a 1000 lbs. if not more; must be made and dealt with. It hurts so bad.

Mom, I owe you so very much! So so much!

For those of you that I did not talk to yesterday, I will try to reach out to you today and the coming days. If you have my phone number, or if anybody asks you for my phone number and you have it, please give it to them and call.

Any words of wisdom that my mom spoke to me are resounding in my head now. She gave me and made me; the essence of who I am. Though God has called her home, she will live on in me. That I know for sure.

I am going to try and post her picture here for all to see. I only hope I don't make a mistake and lose this what I've typed.

You don't know how many times I had to stop tying this and wipe my eyes. It hurts; it really does.

My mom; like yours, was the best!

I love you mom!!

Your son,

Bob

Very sorry for your loss Glov. May she RIP.
Lost my mom a year ago tomorrow. Wish I would have made the trip back to PA more often to spend time with her but I let life get in the way. A lesson we learn too late - you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

A beautiful celebration of your mom. I love it. My dad passed suddenly in 1989 when I was 21 and my mom passed in 2009. Tough losses but, like your mom, both live on in our family’s pictures, stories, and memories.

My only question is why she named you Glov? I thought your name was Cosmo. And since she sounds like a wonderful person, can I be so bold as to assume she was a fan of Coach K?

Glov, sorry for your loss. What a nice tribute!

For the rest of us, it reminds us what is really important in our lives. Personal health and happiness, family, and close friends. Worrying about the next DC or whether a certain recruit might commit, is way down the list.

As I tell my friends and family, when we lose a loved one, there is a huge hole. Time makes the hole get smaller but it never totally goes away. It’s always there to remind us of those wonderful times we had together.

May she Rest In Peace.

I am always touched by your tribute and mentions of your mom. She was obviously a very special lady and I know she is proud of the man you have become. God Bless you Glov and may your mom Rest in Peace.

Thank you all who responded with your kind and heartfelt words!

I ask all of you now; right now, to go over and kiss the one you love,..she means so much to you, on the cheek or lips.

When they ask "What was that for?"

Respond: Just because!

:)
