I'm sure glad I have the camaro by my side.

[christianmotox]

So, I've spent the last couple of days in the hospital, finding out my Mama has terminal cancer.....

But I've been driving my camaro to the hospital and I do feel a little bit more calm while inside the camaro, I've even cried More inside of the camaro than any other place.
Now the worst is coming and I hope I can make it. Ill get 99% of my comfort and support from friends and family, but I'm sure ill get that extra percent from my camaro.

I don't know how this will sound, but the same day my Mama was rushed to the hospital, I received the leather lid I bought from a fellow member, and while I was in the car cooling off from all that was happening I decided to install the lid in the hospital parking lot....

If you are fortunate to have a healthy Mama (I call mine "Ama") go visit her and let her know how much you love her.

Thank you for reading this.

I am fortunate enough to have been able to spend the last year with my mom before she passed away last month. I treasure the time I had with her, and it sounds like you are getting that same opportunity to spend time with your mom as well.

Sorry to hear. I haven't slept well all week. My 94 year old grandma who's always been healthy and strong went to the hospital for heart problems earlier this week. It was weird. I found out just after I had put a battery in a watch she gave me the day before.

They put in a pacemaker today. Hopefully that will do it. Scary to loose someone that close. I don't have many left.

Makes me spend as much time with family as I can these days. Each day's a gift. Hang in there.

Christian, all our prayers are with you and your family.

[guapo]

My thoughts are with you. I feel it with you. Yesterday the man that helped teach me a lot and someone I considered my "second Dad" passed away he was 87..

So sorry to hear. You don't worry about the measure of comfort you feel from your Camaro in this difficult time. Take comfort from wherever you can. Nothing at all wrong with a little Camaro therapy. I did the same thing when we went through my mother's battle with terminal cancer. This forum also provided me a lot of support. Take care of yourself and other family members as you support your mother. You, your mother and all her family & friends will be in our thoughts and prayers. We are here for you if you need to talk. Feel free to PM me if you want.

[christianmotox]

Thank you all for you're comments and prayers, they do mean a lot.

I am blessed to work with my parents every day. I dread the days you are currently facing that I know lie ahead for us, and my prayers are with you and your family.

[babytiger]

Someone is always here, to lean on or just lend an ear. Our prayers are with you. Keep solace in the things you can. Reach out if you need to. You have a huge Camaro community in your part of the state.

Thanks for youre kind words, my brothers and sisters are a little better now.
I honestly don't remember the last time my 4 brothers and I had dinner just us guys no wifes or kids, it was fun to laugh at the stupidest things just to make each other laugh for a little bit.

One day at a time.

one thing that makes me feel better is saying to my self that God let us borrow mom for a little while, we are all grown men and woman.
Now it's time for Mom to go back to her parents like the little girl she once was, just like I will have to leave my daughters one day to go back to my mom and dad.

Sorry you have to go through this. My heart goes out to you. I went through the same thing with my daddy in 2011. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in late 2010 and died from it a year later. I loved him more than anything in this world. The day after he passed my husband brought home my Camaro as a gift. Family, friends, and time do help for sure but there is just something about getting in your Camaro alone and going for a drive just the two of you that is great therapy. On some of the late night rides me and my Sasuke took together, I would remember my daddy and all the time we spent together under or in a Camaro and it made me feel better because it was kinda like he was right there in the passenger seat with me. Im glad yours can bring you some comfort to.

Im sorry you have to go throught that. I know exactly how you feel, after 8 years of fighting cancer my mom passed away when I was 19. I know it isn't easy but stay strong!

[MYDLIFECRISIS]

Prayers your way my friend.
