Today is my mothers 70th birthday & im just starting to get over pneumonia. It saddens me i cant do as i planned. I made plans on taking her out for shrimp & her favorite fish chowda. This woman can eat fish chowda every day. A true Main'a. She is a heck of a woman & i am so upset im not going there today. She understands. Her health isnt the greatest & she has had many of strokes & has been in wheelchair for 1-1/2 years or so. I hope she will be with us longer & i get a chance to do it on her birthday next year. I love my mother & she knows it & i guess thats what matters & next week can be just as good

    Thanks guys. She has certain places she really enjoys the chowders. I pick her up big containers often. I know she misses going to those places & once in while if i can steal the car i will take her out. My 2500 p/up is too high off ground & getting her out of wheelchair is hard. Mark im turning 51 this summer. Your only as old as you feel young man :smile:

    happy birthday mama, god bless.

    I know its not much fun being ill and in a chair, but what a blessing for you to still be able to walk up and hear"Theres my boy".

    You def. did the right thing staying away while you were sick, I had a little chest cold, and just as I was getting over it deb got a little hack that turned into pneumonia.

    I blamed myself for so long until I accepted that god only made her suffer for 2 weeks
    and let her cheat cancers long painful death.

    The chowda will taste great when the time is right.

    Happy Belated Birthday to your Mom Randy. Our "Yankee" Moms are tough as nails. I'm sure she gave you what for, and told you to get better, then come and see her. Hope you have/had a great day with her!
