I got the unfortunate news that my mother had been admitted into the hospital this mornin' (she is fine but has many health issues that all flared up at the same time) & they've decided to keep her in. Once she got admitted & was assigned her room she called me to "come visit!!!" the first chance she got.
Once I got there... her room was packed with people laughin' & havin' a gay ol' time. I wondered what could be goin' on. I looked @ my mom and mouthed the words "What's goin' on?" & before I knew it I was bein' hugged by someone I had never met before. Then he handed me 3 autographed pictures of himself (one for rwp2le, our daughter & myself)... It Was Gerry Cheevers.... his mom (who is in her 90's & still looks great) is in the bed next to my mother. (The med staff think she had a mild stroke but he believes she has forgotten to take her meds)
Gotta love the guys who still love to give their autographs, tell their stories & still make time for their Mama.

Glad to hera your Mom is ok. I will say a prayer. You know I used to love Cheevers in spite of the fact he was a Bruin. He was a real character and I remember having a road hockey mask and painting stitches on it just like his lol.
