re: Is there one odd ball thing your mother gives you?

My mother passed while on my 5th deployment and it was easily the single most crushing thing I ever experienced and we were never close due to our culture but your mama is your mama and that's the only woman in your life that will ever love you and die for you no matter what you do.

All I can say is keep what they give you because it's all you'll have one day

Sorry about your father brother I'll put you and he in my prayers and I hope you two get more time than you expect together
