Two weeks ago today, Friday 1st December, my Mum died, unexpectantly. Her health had deteriorated the last few months but it was still a shock.
I have gone through a range of emotions and now just settled on sadness and realisation I will never see her again. I had been used to her hospital stays, only this time she is not coming home.
I have a brother and sister, nephews and a niece. I was the youngest of our siblings. The one who stayed home the longest and the one who lived the nearest - a mile away. Google tells me I visited my parents for 28 days out of 30 in November.
I have been looking after my dad these past two weeks. His pysical health is fine but mentally he is so forgetful. Mum was the opposite. Failing physical health health but razor sharp mind - and tongue. On my trips to the gym" What do you want muscles for and who's going to be looking at you". Ouch Mummy. That's where I get it from 😀
She spent her life caring about others, family and in the work she did. She will be missed.
