Vegas Bob handles death very well but not when it's his mother!

By

Vegas Bob handles death very well but not when it's his mother!

 

Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob's) step-mother has been fighting cancer for 35 years now and her body is finally shutting down (Bless her Soul).

My real mother left us when I was around 6 years old and we have never heard from her since, and my father re-married when I was around 8 years old and my step-mother has taken care of us since then.

But now she is leaving us soon and I must fly back to the Midwest and see her one last time before she's gone!

Here is the last photograph I took of my step-mother at my sister's daughters wedding in Minnesota June of 2010. With my Father, Nu Nu, Sherry and myself.

Sorry to hear about this Bob, but your stepmother put up a valiant fight and lived 30 years.  Hopefully she will not suffer too long and will go quietly.  My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry for you and the family.  What a fight she put up against an insidious disease and she looks great in June.  It's good you will be able to get back and share some time together before it is too late.

I'm so sorry to hear this Robert.  Our thoughts are with you and your family. I've lost my grandfather and my cousin, and they were both very hard for me.  I still pretend my grandfather is just on a very long fishing trip.

Take care & let me know if I can help you and/or Nu Nu in any way.
