Can't believe it's been a year

[AgBass01]

I'm still fairly new around here and have never really talked about this before. I joined the site in July of last year as a brand new bow hunter. I was looking for my first bow and asked a bunch of questions, many dumb I'm sure, and I gained a lot of knowledge.

On to the part that I've never shared before. A year ago today I lost my mom to cancer (CLL/lymphoma/leukemia). I can't believe it has already been a year. It seems like yesterday. I still have the urge to pick up the phone and call her to talk every day like we used to. This last year was tough on everyone in the family with all the firsts (first Mother's Day without her, birthdays without her, Thanksgiving without her, Christmas without her....you get the point).

Without getting into any more details or getting all emotional here, I just wanted to say life is too short, enjoy it while you can and love the people in your life as much as you can because they might be gone tomorrow. With Mother's day coming up this weekend please visit/hug/kiss/call your mom/wife and tell her how important she is and how much you love her.

Very good reminder, I too lost my mother and each Mother's day that goes by is just as tough as the first. Wish I had one more chance to tell her how much I love her.

One day you are going on about your life and a phone call changes your world.

Don't forget to spoil your mother on Sunday and everyday because some of us don't get that chance anymore.
