Mum

My mum died on Friday, 13 February 2009 at 11.45a.m. Me, dad and my auntie Hilda, Mum's sister, were with her. Mum had been diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2008. Mum was so brave and positive. She looked fantastic, even during the chemotherapy. In July 2008 she hurt her back. We went back and forth to the doctors, turned out she had broke a bone in her back and another one was out of place! At this time, Mum's health just went downhill so fast. Every day seemed to bring something else. Mum spent lots of time in various hospitals. She caught C.Diff and MRSA. It was a nightmare but Mum never ever complained, not once. All the doctors and nurses always commented on that. My mum was terrific. I loved her so much. I still do. I miss her everyday. My life's just not the same without her. She is/was my hero. My pain and grief are nothing compared to what my dad's going through. Losing mum was hard enough. Watching mum slowly get worse and knowing how it was going to end was tragic but watching Dad go on without her is worse. I love you and miss you my dearest, lovely mum. I think about you always....
