I guess this is one way...

The Smith was returned to me on Christmas Day. When I am up to it I will post a photo with additional commentary.

I lost my mother 3 years ago on December 22nd, just three days before Christmas. I was unable to see her before she passed. I know what you are going through. It is a pain that never really goes away, but I think you will always find comfort in your memories of this gun and what an important role it played in both of your lives. I'm so sorry for your loss.........
 
Sorry for your loss.

It's becoming evident my father may not make it back home after many health issues. He still has a model 60 in his nightstand that I bought many years ago. I am sure there are a lot of those nightstand queens around but none as pretty as those old revolvers - especially the ones with a deep blue finish.
 
You've mentioned that gun and giving it to her in posts in the past. I am sorry it has come time for you to get it back. My sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family.
 
I'm truly sorry for your loss...having lost my mom, I know the pain you're feeling all too well.

To have had a son who cared enough for her to provide her with a means of protecting herself, and to have a son for whom there has been such an outpouring of concern and condolences at his time of loss, is a tribute to your mother. I am sure she is incredibly proud of you, and rightfully so.

May she Rest in Peace.
 
SP, as a son who lost his mother several years ago I offer my understanding as well as my prayers and best wishes.

I too offer my sympathy and condolences SP.

Thank you very much for sharing the story of the model 10. I especially loved the part about your feisty Mom chasing a would be bad-guy out of the yard waving the gun. That memory alone is worth more than all the pristine NIB revolvers we all drool over! I'm sure we'd have loved to know your mom and you are a lucky man to have had her for into your 50s! God bless you.
 
My condolences on your loss. I will remember you and yours in my prayers. Regards 18DAI
 
Allow me to add my condolences regarding the death of your mom.

As far as the items she shared before her death, I would keep those things that really bring to life memories and lessons shared not only for you but perhaps for other family members as well.

Our memories need to be kept alive for the good times and lessons learned.

Take care my brother in arms.
 
I'm your age and feel your pain. I too dread the day I get my 64 back from my mom. Special bond between a mom and her son. Prayers are with you.
 
I am so very sorry for your loss. You will always have your memories of her. I lost my mother when I was two yrs old and I am 65 now and have no memories of her. A couple of years ago an elderly Aunt passed and I found a couple of pictures of my mother and me at one and two yrs old. I am so grateful to have those pictures. All of my life the loss of my mother has been very painful so when I read your post it hit me all over again. My deepest condolences.
