It is with a heavy heart that I said aufwiedersehen to my mom last night. She passed peacefully in her sleep, and is now resting in the fields and forests of heaven. She was born in 1932 in Hamburg, Germany, and at age 7 the world around her exploded into one of the most horrific wars that Europe or the world had seen up to that time. By the time it was over, she was thirteen, and had spent many of her formative years witnessing how low humanity can get in the treatement of fellow humans. She survived the post-war years, and came to the US in the late 1950's, and met my dad while in nursing school. She had four chidren, Tim, Chris, Tanya, and myself. She was a doting and caring mom, who dedicated herself to raising her children. She loved to cook, loved animals, especially dogs, and love human beings in general, and had a compassionate and kind heart. There is a small, empty space in the world that she filled, but heaven is a little brighter with her smile and her laughter. I miss you mom, but I know I will see you again some day. Aufwiedersehen, lieber Mutti! Wir sehen uns bald.

    I'm sorry for your loss. My father was from the same generation and he also passed recently. Losing a parent is very hard, but my father was able to live a full and long life, it sounds as though your mother did too.

    I feel for you. I was 16 when my father passed, and 28 before I could actually come to terms with the sudden loss.

    @RantSomeWhere Life is limited for everyone. That statement is not about suicide, but about the limited lifetime everyone has.

    @RantSomeWhere no. In the scheme of eternity soon can be decades away.
