You know your Mom is the best when she nicknames Dave Parker "Buns". So sorry for your loss. I'm so glad you gave in to loving baseball and baseball cards. I am also so glad she found that Tony Phillips for you. This article gave me tons of emotions and I am all teared up now just hoping I can impact my children how your parents impacted you. And at the same time I'm calling my own mom right now to thank her for buying me upper decks instead of fleer when she was working two jobs, because now I'm working two jobs and I know how hard it is to buy my kids anything at all. Thanks for everything, please keep your head up.
Adam, I am so sorry about your mom. Your heartfelt, loving tribute to her was just incredible, and I found myself tearing up and also laughing throughout. You made it crystal what a remarkable woman she was, how much you loved each other, and how you had such a wonderful friendship. I hope all of the million good memories soon replace the pain you’re feeling. Condolences to your father as well.
Adam, my sincere condolences on your mom’s passing. It sounds like she was a wonderful person. I’m sure she is very appreciative of your beautiful tribute.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad earlier this year, the guy who got me into this hobby. It's a terrible experience to lose a parent, but it's good that you have these reminders and connections to her. Wishing you strength and peace in this difficult time.
I'm sorry for your loss, man. It's coming up on 20 years since I lost my mom and it still sucks. Nothing ever really changes that, though it gets easier as you go along. This is a great tribute to her though, and I'm glad that you'll not only have your memories of her to carry forward, but also a lot of meaningful mementos. All the best to you and your family as you go through this.
Adam, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can unfortunately relate, and it's no fun, regardless of your age. Hang in there bud, and keep up your great writing.
Wondrous. Thank you. From a 64-year old orphan who understands.
Thank you.
