Returntoglory Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) This will be the first time in my 60 years on earth that the Bills will be playing a regular season game and I will not have my Mom to cheer them on with. Mom passed away in March due to complications from COVID. To say she was a Bills fan would be a huge understatement. She loved "Her" Buffalo Bills, and she showed it daily whether it was football season or not. I will most miss the constant phone calls during the game whenever the Bills scored, made a great play, made a bonehead play, got screwed by the refs , anything. The games now will not be the same for me. But I know this. My Mom is up in heaven leading the Buffalo Bills cheering section along with all the Bills fans surrounding her. This one's for you Mom ❤️ GO BILLS! Edited September 12, 2021 by Returntoglory spelling 9 3 3 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom in 2018 and we so much enjoyed not only watching the Bills together, but also college football. This will be a tough day for you, I'm sure. Hopefully a Bills win will cushion the pain a bit. God Bless you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Smith Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Three years ago my Dad was welcoming fans to their seats at Highmark. He's no longer here, but Bills love is eternal. My parents couldn't get 1 b4 they died, hopefully my children and I will...A few of them. Go Bills! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My thoughts are with you. I lost my mom is 2019, and football Sundays make it especially tough. They'll never be the same. Hang in there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist_to_open Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Sorry for your lost. I didn't even connect the two until I read this post. I'm a third generation Bills fan and lost my Dad last December, first time I can't call him and talk about the game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My dads in his 70’s… He always says “I just want to see them win one before it’s time” I’m sure lots of others feel the same. Im lucky to still have him and I’m very sorry for your loss. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Glory I’m sorry for you’re loss and the to the rest of you guys. I unfortunately lost my mom on my 40th birthday. You never totally get over it, you just think of her meaning mine rooting on the Bills in heaven with my grandparents. I can see them at the K OF C from Lackawanna where my dad used to pirate in the games (he was the house manager back in the kelly days) with the huge dish. Those were fun days eating the leftovers from the weddings over the weekend, and drinking a couple of Labatts. He put a tv in every view in the lounge and would pack the place with the members and families. I know it’s hard the first season, but you’ll end up having conversations on the porch, or in bed and she’ll hear you. Trust me, she wants the inside in the game. Go Bills!

JGMcD2 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 This post made me cry. My Mom and I share the same back and forth during Bills games that you and your Mom shared. I’m so sorry for your loss. God Bless. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde my brother in law probably knew you’re dad as he worked security there for 30 years as he is now retired, but then a CO for corrections. You know he’s sitting on the 50 yard line today brother.

I’d put both of my grandfathers on that category as well 👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Sorry for your loss - great that your Mom was a big Bills fan! Let's hope they win a few for her this season!! I lost my mom a month ago, she loved the Bills too (though mostly because I love the Bills vs a real love of football). We were lucky enough to spend all of last year's amazing run together, cooking food and watching the games at home. I'll miss her cheering / freaking out regardless of what was happing And hey, to all our Bills fans up there in heaven getting ready for the game, GO BILLS!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 So sorry for your loss. My condolences. I hope she gets to see a win today from heaven! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm very sorry for your loss. There is nothing like the bond that the Bills provides among family. I'm taking my 85 year old Mom to the Washington game. I was shocked that she agreed to go, and it will be a challenge but its kind of a "one last time" thing. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalobuckner Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm right with you man...this will be my first game without my father. Lost him back in March after a 4 year fight with pancreatic cancer. He atleast got to see us almost make it last year, It's going to be hard but I have his ashes sitting right next to me. Stay strong brother. Go bills. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Prayers to you and your family. My Mom and I were at the 93 comeback game. I wanted to leave. She said no. I listen to my Mom. She died in 2014 from lung cancer. I wish she could see our team this year. Sad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Reading through all these posts are really making me choke up a little bit. I can remember being a kid and one thing I was really aware of was that I knew at some point my Grandparents would pass away and remember thinking how difficult that would be...I've lost all of them except for 1 and she's 90 so I'm not sure how much time she has left. But my point is now I have already transitioned into thinking that at some point I will have to accept my parents no longer being here as well. It's crazy how fast time flies and things can change so abruptly. It's important to cherish every moment with your loved ones because at some point that's all it's going to be. My condolences to everybody in this thread that has lost a parent or both. I am already dreading for when that day happens for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
