My dad died when I was 16 , so my mom and I were very close . My mom passed away 15 years ago and I miss her every day .
Thanks for posting .
Dad died three years ago. Mom's still as feisty as ever but she misses him badly. I'll call her and we'll have a good long talk tomorrow.
Happy Mother's Day to everybody's Mom! sip

I posted that clip on Facebook yesterday. Like Coach Bryant, I sure wish I could call mine (27 years gone this month).
It must be in the ether, because I posted that link 6 hours ago, as I remembered my mother and Coach Bryant's commercial. Indeed, I wish that I could call my mother. :-(

I'll see my Mom tomorrow and will give her an extra hug for all here who couldn't give one to theirs....

She's a big Gator fan but has a large enough heart to enjoy Bama football and it's fans, just like her son...:wink:

Lost both of my parents in 2002, Dad in February and Mom in June. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of them.

Even though my mum died in 2000, I still miss her tremendously. However, I do have amazing memories of our time together. One of my last memories of being together was when we were down in Florida together and went browsing in a greeting card shop. It seemed that everyone of their cards made us chuckle loudly, so loudly that we got some quirky looks from the other customers. Great times.

I read or heard way back when that commercial came out that Coach Bryant added the last part, "I sure wish I could call mine." (Don't know for sure if this is true.)
Yes he adlib the line, at one time it was the most watch tv commerical of all time in Alabama. I talked to mine yesterday.... I remember watching it live and it still brings goosebumps.
