I am writing to share sad new that no one ever wants to, but must deal with, the loss of a parent.
On Sunday I received the call from my brother no child wants, that my mother had passed away on Sunday morning, from an accident, while at a rehab facility for her back.
I was so blessed I got to see her and her warm wonderful smile on Friday, prior to unfortunately attending a funeral for a fellow Forum member and dear childhood friend.
I would like those of you who are still lucky enough to have parents alive, who supported you as a kid and our love of Wackies, to thank them for allowing you to be that silly child that still endures that childhood love into our adult years.
I will tell you, if you have never been though this, it is a horrible thing, but is also part of the cycle of life and we can not cheat it, despite our best efforts.
I was lucky enough to place one of my original and favorite Wacky Packages in a special holder and place it with her along with a personal note.......
My mother was a very intelligent, vibrant and extremely funny woman whom enjoyed my Wacky Packages as much as I did, this is a special bond I will never forget.
As we placed the earth up her casket and entombed her to the ground, I take some peace and solace in knowing she was my Wacky inspiration for the love I still have today for them, my sarcastic sense of humor and the qualities of a man and father I maintain today including my youngest daughter's love of them as much as mine.
So as I say goodbye to my favorite Wacky, my mother will not be a Lost Wacky, for her memories will always be with me and remain as a PSA Graded 10 Mint Wacky Mother - The rarest and most prized of all....
Rest in Peace Mom, I love you and will miss your cackling laugh more then you know.......
Your Loving Son
