    Go visit your parents...

    Not to get all mushy here.... My mom passed in June, today's her birthday. I'm taking a trip to the cemetery. Advice to those of you whos parents are still around, go see them. Send them a card, let them know how you feel about them. Thankfully I did those things, it makes the sadness a little easier to bear.....

    I get together with my mom every sunday and sometimes during the week.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    My father passed in '82, and there not a day I don't miss him.

    Nice to hear from you again, Joe.

    Very nice, Joe. The thought goes through my mind very often.

    Edit: Hey! Something very familiar about your front fender!
    Did it line up nicely or did it require a lot of fudging?

    Joe, I still have both of my parents and I never take them forgranted. I love my folks dearly. My Pop has hung with me at numerous car events. The best part of all, all my freinds tell me how cool my folks are.

    I agree, spending quality time with your parents helps to ease the pain when you lose them.

    I lost my father two years ago to a stroke and it still hurts. We did talk a lot though and we said the things that needed to be said all around. I think about him and miss him every day.

    I am right with you Joe. Dad passed June 18, 2004, his 84th birthday would have been last Wednesday. Sorry to say, I did get mushy at his grave that day. But, I still keep him and my mother still close to my heart, even though they are both gone.

    Absolutely. I'm fortunate to still have both parents, and I don't get there often enough!
    If only this MM puppy had a 5 speed!
