    Thank you I appreciate it. It is kinda funny my mother insisted no casket no service a big party. We sat with our Mom all day but back at the house we stayed up late and drank and told stores and laughed, exactly what Mom would have wanted.

    A perfect tribute to her. It is what I have told my family to do. No funeral ,toss my ashes out in the woods to fertilize new life. I have given them a life time of funny and strange stories to talk and laugh about.

    The party will be back in Minnesota, looking at venues. My Mom lived a very good life traveled the world first class, loved her convertible sports cars, and her home in Florida. There will be a huge party a band, catered, and an open bar. Toughest person I know she would have kicked me in the nuts if I missed getting back to work this week with a conference.

    Headed back to Tampa, get to the airport and I got a parking spot at the full ramp, I get in the airport to learn my flight is delayed, then I get a call that my driver cancelled because of my after midnight arrival in Tampa. I initially wanted to rent a car but National was out of cars when I called before, went hail mary and called, they said you are executive (my last trip put me at that level) suddenly I have a car waiting for me. More white priviladge that I should feel ashamed about. Going to go visit my Mom when I get there her hospice is open 24/7.

    Sorry to hear Sota. Visit your mom. I know....Not how you want to remember her. (Read your previous posts) But, you'll kick yourself later if you have the chance and didn't. Been there, done that, with my mom about 17 years ago.

    I did something last week I had never done before in my life and I have done it a few times since then. I am going to be 56 the end of May I had never hugged my Dad and told him that I love him.
