The day I lost my mum.......Happy Mums day today

My mum die on the 24 Feb 2010 of cancer, she cremated 9th March and its mothers day today, 1am cant sleep, been looking through images of us all at Christmas, I am so glad that we all came together as a family and spent mums last Christmas with her family around her. I feel sad and miss her greatly, she had a good long life, she was 84 when she die, but I miss her so, I go to give her a call or think I will just pop in and see her on the way home from work. I hope you are ok mum, looking down on us. Happy mothers day, I love you. ray xxx

Happy New Year to the good old NHS

Its a been a strange new year, started with my mum having a heart attack on the 30/12 and finished with her recovering in hospital and coming away from there last night feeling very grateful that I still have a mum. My thanks goes out to the team at the A&E and resuscitation unit for not letting my mum go to the big jazz club in the sky just yet.

Christmas Holiday

Christmas holiday this year was a great time for me with very mixed blessing, my mum was diagnose with cancer in early December, that was the reason for coming back from our house in India and since then most my time has been taken up with doctors and hospital visit. The good side has is that I have been with my mum much more than I would have normally done, we have become much closer and I feel good that I have been able to help. My family have made time for us all to be together and it was a great time of family, food and open fires and a real Christmas spirit .

sorry about no post for a while

My next post was going to be my telling you about living in our house in Southern India, but sadly after 4th day there my mum was taken into hospital back in the UK with heart problems, so here I am back in the UK and I am very happy to say that my mum is out of hospital and on the mend.
