Jesus said be ready for you know not the hour which I come . Our time here on earth is a transient thing,  with no set boundaries or borders , we are all here but for a fleeting moment in eternity, a brief moment of brightness like a star that’s gone nova . Then a slow dimming into the void of space.  Into each life the basic needs are met,  hunger is fed, weariness is abated,  and the need to seek out comfort and companionship is sought.
A Mother has a son and raises him as she thinks a man should be raised, she nurtures him and hopes to see in him  a reflection of herself. A son sees the Mother as a rock  and a guiding light in his life, an influence unsurpassed by any other , the mother  son bond is love in its truest state, and if you are lucky you will have it for many years, I was very lucky and had my mom til I was 50 years old ,she was 83 and had been through a lot, however it is never easy to let go,  , and  the pain and loss that one endures is never easy .
When a Mother  passes the son will feel the pangs of loneliness and loss. It is at this time one of my brothers is feeling this loss, and I am reaching out to him in his hour of need , I will pray for him, as I know my fellow brethren here will pray ,
And I hope That he will find peace, and comfort in the fact that his mom  is in a far better place and will always be at his side.
Brother Whitey,  I am sorry for your loss, the timing  of your loss must make it hard to cope , for you have so much going on in your life at this time. but I am here for you , all you need do is call on me , my prayers and Darlene’s are with you and your family . As are the prayers of many others on this site , God bless you and may your mom find peace. 
And unto you I say... "may the road rise up to meet you .
May the wind always be at your back ,
May the sun shine warm upon your face ,
and rains fall soft upon your fields .
And until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
