As I am trying to get this memorial service for my mom together, I'm going through a lot of pictures of her. I just got a bunch from her sister, of when she was younger.
I've been with mom almost every day, for the last 17 years. Then, she was about 300 pounds. The last 6 years mom battled mini strokes and type 2 diabetes. She was losing weight the past 5 years or so, which we attributed to her not having her stressful job anymore (she wrongfully got fired after her first stroke).
CeceDuBois reshared this.
Her nails were always bitten to the quick from the stress she was under at the brokerage firm. After she "medically" retired (no job for her to go to, anymore--plus, nobody would hire a 76 yr old woman) her nails grew. So we thought the weight loss was from her not stress eating.
She was diagnosed with a pancreatic mass 19 months ago during a hospital stay. We elected to not biopsy or treat her for it. I started her on the Joe Tippens protocol, which I did for about seven months.
It took mom exactly one year of nursing care--where she was off the Joe Tippens protocol --to finally die. She weigned less than 130 when she passed and her official diagnosis was "protein-calorie malnutrition ". My friend who runs a hospice told me it's a bullshit diagnosis when the doctors can't be certain exactly what's causing the patient to decline, except her weight was plummeting.
It's been 12 days since mom left me. And, as I've been going through these photos of her, I've noticed
that the weight loss was profound and not like when Oprah lost weight, where she looked like a bobble- head. This looks like cancer, where mom was skeletal and her flesh melted away.
I had one final photo of my mom that I took a week before she died, for my aunt. (She tried to snap a picture during their last FaceTime but it didn't work so she asked me to take a picture.) I just looked at it and that's when I realized how bad my mom deteriorated.
There's only 1 reason I'm not sure about it.
My mom was not in pain when she died. I asked her, countless times, and trust me, she would have told me.
The nurses all told me that pancreatic cancer is extremely painful. My mom did not exhibit that pain at all. She cried out once, when her sheets were being changed, because she was so thin and the movement hurt her. But she was okay after a minute. She never asked for morphine.
So although everything looked like cancer, I can't say for sure.
Maybe the Lord spared her that pain.
Oh.... one last update
My brother is not coming to the service.
He just RSVP'd.
I am trying to be charitable. That means that I'm not trying to judge him or be bitter about it.
It is his choice. I think that it is a poor one, and an abysmal example for his children.
This is difficult for me to accept. Your mother's memorial service is a big deal. So big, that the military would send you home from war to attend it.
As retired military, he can even fly space-A within CONUS.
There's no excuse for him not attending. He hasn't contributed even a penny towards her final expenses or the memorial.
I don't know how to feel about this. I want to be angry at him for not loving our mom, but I think my mom would rather have me pray for him because this is pretty indicative of his heart's condition and I know this was a source of anxiety for her. She knows I'm okay and we'll see each other again. But him... not so much. Deep inside, I think she knew his heart was hard.
Oh, friend, I'm so sorry for your loss. Even when we know it's coming, or it's time, it still hits us head on.
God bless you as you plow through what needs to be done to put your mother at rest. I pray for you, for her, and for your brother.
You are loved and supported here, dear heart. 🙏🕯❤️
For perspective..
My brother, and our mom are tight... I can't stand her. When she dies I will not attend the service.
We both have very different relationships with her. I do not try to derail my brothers relationship, but I also refuse to pretend we are cool.
I am sure you have your reasons for the relationship between you and your mom and I fully support you in establishing your boundaries.
It's a little different for me. My brother is not nice to either of us. He hasn't been his entire life.
I appreciate that you are HONEST about your feelings. My brother is passive- aggressive about his feelings. He would draw my mom close to bludgeon her. For instance, he came into town on a connecting flight and called her.
That is not how I play for sure..
Sorry for your pain MMA.
I like you a ton, and hope you get through this quick.
Thank you dear.
Just so you know, I'm just like you. I'm fine with not having a relationship with a sibling or a parent. And I respect that my daughter doesn't want one with me, even though I'm hurt by her choice.
I had to tolerate my bro for my mom. And I'm going to honor her by praying for him. But I'm not going to have him in my house. He's done and said some things to me that you wouldn't believe, including punching me in the face when we were teenagers.
Well MMA for whatever it's worth..
I am not your family, but I love you..
You are my kind of people.
Hope you get through this fast, and back to living your life.
I will make it because y'all are praying me through. My friends have always been more of a family to me than my own.
Thank you for the encouragement and support. It's made all the difference in the world to me.
He asked her to come to the airport so he and his (2nd) wife could take her to dinner while he was waiting on his connecting flight.
She eagerly jumped in her car and drove 75 miles to BWI airport. (I refused, because I'm like you, I don't like that mofo, and I won't pretend, so I wouldn't go. )
She gets there and he's waiting alone. She asks where his wife is and he tells her that she's in the lounge. Mom is bewildered and then he tells her that he has to protect her (from my mother).
Then he launched into a diatribe about his whole relationship with her and how he offended at how she's hurt his wife because she still keeping a relationship with his first wife (mother of her niece and nephew). My mom is confused, crying and really feeling trashed.
There was no dinner, of course. Mom drove the 75 miles back home from the airport, upset and with a monster headache.
My bro made his point
I've found six such emails in her Gmail from him.... all.on the same theme.
I have no issue with not caring for a person in your family. But be up front, be honest, and then be DONE. That isn't what he's doing.
I'm hurt because he's a phony and acts like he wanted to have a relationshipbut not really any of the responsibilitiesthat go with it. His offense and anger is the excuse to justify deliberately shifting all mom's medical expenses onto me when he knows I'm not in the greatest financial situation.
This memorial service is his last act of disdain for her.
@Lori
Amen sister. I have done right by my mom when she lived with me, and allowed that meat-ax across the threshold to see her... but, no more!
I will not suffer him in my house anymore. My duty and responsibility to care for my mom is ended. Part of caring for her was to get her closer to him because I knew she wanted to see her son more. If we hadn't moved to Texas, he wouldn't have made any effort.
I am in a way glad he won't be at the memorial. It's easier for me.
Dear friends took us to dinner the night before my mom's funeral.
I'll never forget Linda saying that it'd been 10 years since her mother passed and she STILL could not believe her own mom was gone.
Our moms always will be an integral part of us. Forever.
I'm almost done with the video for my mom's service. It's a hodge podge of photos everybody sent to me and ones I found by looking in all of mom's boxes. Plus everything I could grab off my phone.
At first I was going to use the classic Commodore's song "Zoom" for the background music. But I prayed for the perfect song and a memory of a song came to me out of nowhere last night. It's going to be "I Will Remember You" by Amy Grant.
We all will remember our moms.
Great choice.
After the service it would be awesome if you posted it here, if you are so inclined.

The Force-Feeding of AI on an Unwilling Public
This isn't innovation, it's tyranny

A few months ago, I needed to send an email. But when I opened Microsoft Outlook, something had changed.
Microsoft asked me to use Copilot to write my email. Copilot is my AI companion. (That’s the cute word they use.)
After some trial-and-error, I found a way to disable Copilot. Phew!
But a few days later, Microsoft surprised me again. It wouldn’t let me ...
I don’t want AI sending me emails—but I don’t get a choice.
I don’t want AI music on Spotify—but I don’t get a choice.
I don’t want AI books on Amazon—but I don’t get a choice.
If they gave people a choice, they would reject this tyranny masquerading as innovation.
Every time I see mention of Guam, I think it might be nice to move there. This time I took a serious though not detailed look, and I gotta say I like the idea. Kinda like Hawaii without the rampant tourism from the looks of things? Been to Hawaii, and quite liked it, everything cost more, but manageable, especially if'n you had the option of shopping in Honolulu, and avoided Oahu.
Anyone recommend some good resources, or want to answer questions? Mostly wondering how the costs stack up compared to Missouri, taxes look like they'll drop, housing will be a bit higher, not sure about the rest.

for my next trick, i will be saving myself a $1500 expense in the RSX, using a $15 "O2 sensor spacer" bung that pushes the secondary O2 sensor slightly out of the exhaust stream to avoid the annoying p420 catalyst below efficiency threshold error and check engine light
the computer tries to be clever and test the cat for efficiency by monitoring the downstream sensor reading and comparing it to the upstream one. this cat is fine, it's probably something like 90% functional and the exhaust doesn't stink or anything. so i'm not about to plunk down 1500 for a new cat just cause it's not at peak efficiency for california air standards or something
don't tell the EPA but i'm pretty sure this only would be frowned upon in places like california. some people completely remove catalytic converters to make their cars go faster which really does cause the exhaust to stink. i wouldn't go that far.
the civic does need a new cat though and the exhaust does not smell too great, but it's not throwing an error
