PSC Fund Raiser for The TrimMaster's Mom

Yes, it's true, while this may sound like something you would hear on the news,,,well...it is like that. Nothing short of it. I can't hardly believe this is really real. But everyone, it is, this whole thing Leanna started has snowballed into one life changing deal for my mother and I. For those who have moved entire homes out of state you know the cost is staggering. Well as of this morning,,or late last night, I can say that with everything that has come in from Leanna starting this on FB and here on FABO, my shoulder blades are no longer dragging on the street. I called my mother last night and told her everything that I knew. And everyone, I can tell you that while we were sniffing and wiping our eyes on the phone, we knew for the first time this can really happen. The story with Mom is a long one and a hard one. God bless her and her inspiring strength she has shown me my whole life. I'm so proud to be able to say I'm her son.
And now with all of this, all of you have enabled my mother to get well, and get up here to Oregon so that she can live the rest of her life with me and I can care for her. Not to mention be able to move her up here.
What I have not said before here or anywhere was my bottom line plan and that WAS that push come to shove, I had planned on flying down there, loading up what we could in her car with her pup, and walking away from it all,,,everything she owned and built up in her life. In my mind, she is worth far more than the things she has so I was willing at worst case situation to drive away from everything like it just burnt down if I was not able to find the money to get her well and up here.
I can tell you all that this option is no longer on the table. Now we know not only what must be done, but we know we can now do it. Sure, it's still gonna be a ton of hard work, ( pray my back holds out for this one ) but in the end, there will come a day when thanks to all of you, I will be sitting there in my chair, coffee in hand, looking at the greatest lady I have ever known relaxing for the first time in her life, getting to know her grandson, finally,,,......finally...putting herself in a lower gear and able to focus on getting better and best of all, enjoy life a bit. She has been selfless in all the years I have known her. First raising myself and a brother whom is somewhere out there, as a single mother, Then caring for her father until he passed, next it was her mother she did the same for, some years later it was her sister Geri, then her other sister Marrylin whom died of cancer but not alone. Then, it was my father, now....just when the chips were down during all of this that this thread is all about, we just got word her last family member up in Yakama is on the way out. This leaves her as the only one in her line alive. And she has every plan on finding a way up there to care for him until he passes. Lucky, it's not that far from here so even if she is not able to fully care for him as she does for patents she has in AZ, she will be there for him. I'll see to that as long as she is healed up enough to go.
Where am I going with this? well I'll tell ya, this thing leanna started and you all jumped on board with both feet, not only saved our lives, changed our world, but also, will enable my mother by being up here to care for the last of her family until the end.
So know everyone, that be it $5.00 or 2K. ( did I really just type 2K?) it's all coming together to shut the door on a chapter of stress, bad times, hard times, stress and sadness of many reasons, and open a new chapter that God willing will be some good years of gearing down so finally my loving mother can relax and enjoy what time she has left. The thought of loosing her while down there in AZ is more than I can take, so much would be lost, but now, thanks to all of you and the big plan, lives will TRULY be changed for the better. So I can't thank all of you enough for this. Please put yourself in my shoes for a moment and understand what it means to us what you all have done here in these passing days. Together, all of you have made a difference that will have a life long ripple effect. Take pride in knowing you all are a part of it. And thank God for all of your parents who clearly raised you all to know when to step in and help when you could. This time,,,,,,,,it worked! Love to all
