How cool to have a mum that followed Manly. You're a lucky man.

My beautiful mum passed away last week. Today me, my dad and brother picked up mum’s ashes and decided to go for a beer in her memory. Looking out over the water what do we see - a Sea Eagle! I think a bloody good sign for the season ahead!

Mum was a true Manly fan and when she and dad used to reside in Beacon Hill they would attend every game at Brookie and go back to the Leaguesy afterwards for a beer and a cheeky gamble on the pokies.

Even when mum and dad retired to the NSW mid North Coast 15 years ago she would still watch every game on TV and text me during the game telling me what they were doing right or where they were going wrong (more of the latter in recent years!).

Mum - I will miss you so much. RIP.View attachment 10188

Maaaaate, really sorry to hear. I envy your relationship with your parents. They sound amazing mate.

Very sorry to hear that mate, it's a terrible thing to lose a parent, it sounds like you have many good memories to help ease the pain of your loss.

Sorry for your loss mate, my condolences to you and your family

 

[globaleagle]

I'm sorry for your loss of your wonderful Mum @ManWar she sounds like she was a great lady. I hope you and your family are doing the best you can during this sad time. Take care.

So sorry for your loss - lovely story and keep those memories close.

@ManWar thanks for sharing that.
Today is the 11th anniversary of my wife's death (aged just 45, too young). I've no empirical evidence yet remain convinced she played some role in the stars aligning for our 40-nil romp in 2008.
(and for what it's worth, I agree with @Mark from Brisbane 's observation)

Great thread .... powerful and positive
Thinking of you at this time....
The way you assess the situation in such a tough time - there’s 1 thing I do know....your mum would be super proud of you.

Sorry to hear about your mum mate. Does your dad still live on the Mid North Coast? Where?

 

[NZEaglesFan]

Condolence from my family o you and your family my feathered friend. Keep strong and I am sure your mum will continue to look upon you and our team from heaven.

I lost my father 25 years ago when he was only 49 years old so I know what you are going through but rest assured that time does heal all wounds. Keep strong.

Lovely post mate. Condolences to you and your family.

 

[TWO DOGS]

All the best ManWar. Sorry to hear of your Mum's passing.

 

[Woodsie]

Can't add anything that hasn't already been said ..... but it appears you have made the important step of celebrating her life, rather than just mourning her loss .....

Any mothers that raise their sons to be Sea Eagles will always soar high ..... stay strong mate .... and best wishes to you and your family ....

 

[ManWar]

Sorry to hear about your mum mate. Does your dad still live on the Mid North Coast? Where?

Thanks mate. Dad is in the Port Stephens area which really is just South of being mid- north coast.
