[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 316946"] Mom's are special. When I was growing up (not in Georgia), I had my eyes set on the in-state Engineering school of choice, and my Mom brought up Georgia Tech. I knew I would have been in the bottom half of those that got accepted, so going somewhere that was going to be so hard was not high on my list. But over time, my Mom convinced me to come to Tech. She eventually got me to see her angle - that you should go into the very best place you can, even if you're literally the last person that's able to get admitted. God gives you gifts, and to not stretch them and reach as far out as you can for them would be unfair. She never had any connection to Tech other than my going there. She continues to try and watch games in any sport when they are on. I think Moms are special that way, they see in Tech what they see in themselves - an Institution that will push you hard to make you be the best you possibly can. Tech gives you the tough love that only a Mother can. I am so sorry for your loss, but what a great example of a Mom she is. I hope you are able to fill your days celebrating her many memories and that those celebrations help cushion the grief and loss that your family no doubt has. [/QUOTE]
