Bob, terribly sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing such a sad, yet sweet and private moment with us all, I must admit I am a big cry baby, and your well written words caused me to shed a few tears (don't tell anyone that the BigFish has feelings). My Dad passed away almost 3 years ago Bob, and there has not been a minute pass when I don't miss him, or an hour pass when I don't think of him in some small way. The thing that got me through the tough moments was friends, kind words, and knowing how very fortunate I had been to be blessed at having had the best father on the planet. I don't know you all that well Bob, but I can tell from your words that your Mom must have been quite a fine lady, and a fortunate one at that, to have raised such a caring son. My thoughts are with you Bob. Take it slow and let the great memories of your Mom help you through.
