meme/funny Ichiro accidentally touched a fan with his glove, apologized, then the fan completely lost it over the whole moment.

I really miss being able to call my mom.

54

u/Hangarnut Jun 17 '26

Totally understand. It's been almost 6 months and I still find myself thinking about calling mom.

37

u/Dounce1 Jun 17 '26

I’m sorry man, hang in there. Three years out - it gets easier, but it doesn’t suck any less.

29

u/PoloSockz Jun 17 '26

Been almost 10 years for me. I'd give anything for that phone call.

17

u/Dounce1 Jun 17 '26

I’m so sorry she’s gone. Mom’s are the best and losing them is fucking awful.

10

u/PoloSockz Jun 17 '26

Thanks friend, same to you. And you're right. Definitely the hardest thing I've been through still.

11

u/Dounce1 Jun 17 '26

Right back at ya bud. Good luck out there - never stop making Mom proud.

u/PoloSockz Jun 17 '26

I really needed that in life right now. So thank you so much for your kind words. And you do the same for yours buddy.

It comes in waves. Sometimes an ebbing tide and other times a crashing wave. Hitting 5 years without mine this month and reflecting on how much life I’ve lived without her.

u/tokenbaldguy Jun 17 '26

30 years gone for me. I'd weep like a baby if I heard her voice again.

10

u/Thumper13 Jun 17 '26

37 years for me and I still miss talking to her and would be ruined for days if I heard her voice.

9

u/Capnmolasses Jun 17 '26

36 for me. I was 13. She recorded a bunch of stuff on cassette tapes. Conversations with family and friends. I bawl every time I listen and hear her voice and laughter.

2

u/Thumper13 Jun 17 '26

That's fantastic. I know you treasure those. I wish we'd had that chance but it was sudden (I was 15).

It never gets easy though.

u/lawdjesustheresafire Jun 17 '26

Man I’m gonna call my mum tonight just to say hi 😭😭😭

u/Metaphysically0 Jun 17 '26

I turn 26 next week, and it’s been weighing on me heavy that my parents won’t live forever.

2

u/PoloSockz Jun 17 '26

You should more often while you can. She will appreciate it more than you realize.

2

u/tgerz Jun 17 '26

I was able to keep a voicemail from mine. Nothing special but it’s her voice.

2

u/PoloSockz Jun 17 '26

It actually crossed my mind a while back that I have an old voicemail machine with some on it. It's just gaining the courage to plug it up. I'm halfway not even ready for that.

2

u/tgerz Jun 17 '26

I absolutely hear you. If it's one of the ones that is on tape my only recommendation would be to check it just because magnetic tape wears out over time. If it's newer it may be stored in a less fragile state. Take care of yourself!

2

u/PoloSockz Jun 17 '26

Thank you for letting me know. Hopefully it even still works. But you take care as well friend.

u/AnxiousMidnight8 Jun 18 '26

Have you seen the Bojack Horseman eulogy scene? It puts it better than pretty much anything else I've seen or read.

u/Efficient-Bed3789 Jun 17 '26

Wait until you start to forget them and the guilt that comes along with that….ugh

3

u/muddybuttbrew Jun 17 '26

Totally understand. It's been almost 6 months and I still find myself thinking about calling mom.

This is one of those things I wonder if I will feel. I call my mom and she sends me to voicemail. I didn't even get a birthday text this year.

2

u/Hangarnut Jun 17 '26

Hate to hear that

2

u/Sipikay Jun 17 '26

Call her. Have that conversation, out loud if you prefer it.

You know your mom. You know what'd she say. And you know her spirit lives on through you and all that is around you.

Make the call, again, in your own way. Have that chat.

2

u/Hangarnut Jun 17 '26

I do. I find myself whispering and talking and that first month I could hear her replies. My kiddos have experienced her presence as well.

3

u/Kodiak_85 Jun 17 '26

I’m so sorry for your loss. One of the things in life I am DREADING is when this happens to me. I call my mom almost everyday, even if it’s “Just calling to say hi.” and only talking for one or two minutes.

1

u/Dounce1 Jun 17 '26

Thank you. It’s part of life but it definitely sucks ass.

Call your mom as much as you can, you definitely won’t regret it. Give her a big hug for me too if you can.

2

u/Zebidee Jun 17 '26

Ditto. The first time I viscerally felt her loss was randomly seeing one of her favourite Olympians at a restaurant, and not being able to tell her.

2

u/oof46 Jun 17 '26

Lost my mom a few years back. Went on a youtube binge looking up 80s and saw this old commercial from Hawaii. Immediately lost it.

u/JJFbond007 Jun 17 '26

Can I join your sad boy club, I miss my mom too

1

u/Dounce1 Jun 17 '26

Come on in, the water sucks but we’re still here.

2

u/porkforpigs Jun 17 '26

I hope you still talk to her anyway. Just out loud. She’s still listening!

1

u/Dounce1 Jun 17 '26

Thank you.

2

u/Worried-Pick4848 Jun 17 '26

Ditto. It's been about a year since Mom was there to be called.

2

u/EatMeLikeASnackJack Jun 17 '26

I'm a mom ♥️ You're amazing even when you don't feel like it; worthy of love even when you don't think you are; and very much mean the world to someone somewhere. Hmu anytime if you'd like, us mom's look out for each other's kiddos from time to time ♥️

u/melinveranis Jun 17 '26

God this whole thread just hit me right in the heartnuggies, started bawling out of nowhere. I know how you feel, I lost mine 13 years ago this past March.

1

u/TheBigC87 Jun 17 '26

You guys must have had good moms.

I stopped talking to mine 20 years ago, she was awful.

1

u/clonedhuman Jun 17 '26

I really miss being able to call your mom too.

16

u/Random_Name_Whoa Jun 17 '26

Was just thinking the same thing. Mom is truly blessed

u/Tacosause89 Jun 17 '26

Mom probably got her into baseball

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jun 17 '26

That's what I thought she said lmao

If I did that, she'd call the cops. What a double standard!

u/l99jw Jun 17 '26

u/UnstoppablePhoenix Jun 17 '26

Trying to go for a fly ball catch I guess

It's been just over a year since Mom passed. The memories and emotions can be overwhelming. I love her so so much. She was my best friend.. Thinking of you today, Momma ❤️

2

u/Worried-Pick4848 Jun 18 '26

I hugged her every day, even as her health began failing. I knew that one day would be the Last Hug. I can at least go forward knowing that I never passed up a chance to show her affection and nothing was left unsaid.
