Goodbye Mum

This is just a short post to say goodbye to my Mum. She died recently after a short illness. She had been in a care home for the last 5 years but had been happy and well. I visited on the Sunday as usual and things were normal. On Monday she was taken into hospital and by Tuesday midmorning she had passed away. I had been with her on the Monday night holding her hand but I don't think she was aware of me being there. Maybe on some level she was. She was not in any pain or discomfort so I can be thankful for that.

At the time this is being posted I will be at the Funeral service. I am still finding it hard to get my head round what has happened as it was all so sudden and unexpected. I hope the funeral will help me on the way to accepting this change and help me through the grieving process.

 

The picture was taken when Mum was about 27 and is so typical of her in a way because even in her later years she was always dressed in a stylish and elegant way.

 

Say hello to Dad and the boys for me.

 

All my love Alison
