You are spot on my friend, my mother went to be with the Lord in 1999, 3 days after I had open heart surgery, but powered by her love for me, we made the trip to offer our final goodbyes on this world and shared the excitement of reuniting in the portals of heaven for all eternity. My mother was the rock of our home, strong willed and full of love for all her 9 children...God Bless all mothers....pappy
