Hi all, I'm still sad and the worst is yet to come, Funeral is next Tuesday so we will be back up North on Sunday. I'm worried about Mrs H as she and her Mum were very close. It still seems surreal to her. She's doing a good job of holding it together, while I've been like a watering can.

Lady H was pleasant this afternoon! she doesn't have much choice otherwise Handy will say something He won't regret:D And people like Lady H don't like hearing the truth.:mad:

To the end MIL was a true comic. In her lucid moments she had the staff and us in stitches. One day she complained her leg was hurting. Which one asked Mrs H, "my left"said MIL. Mrs H lifted the duvet and rubbed the leg.
"Is that better" she asked. "No said MIL I've got my legs crossed":rotfl:

When her sight failed, I warned the family that her hearing would return.
My brother -in - law didn't believe me until while talking MIL's adventures and faux pass. She surfaced from semi coma and said, I can hear you, you know.:eek:

She was on Oral Morphene when she got distressed, at one point she didn't breath for 45 seconds and I couldn't find a pulse. Next thing she was back with us saying Eh I thought I was going then!

When she was in her 80's one New years Eve she led a Conga line of 20+ pensioners out onto the main road, (banging every one of Mrs H's pots and pans as drums), out onto the main road and around a traffic island. They got a police escort home and had their names taken.

An hour later the two policeman called back to have a new years drink with her. At that point she was singing Blue Bells are Blue, smoking a cigar and slowly sliding down a wall.:rotfl:

When any of the staff at the home did anything for her, she always thanked them, it's a sad reflection on society that some of the staff told me, they are rarely thanked by patient or family. I think that this is one of the reasons she made such an impression in such a short time.

Now my priority is seeing Mrs H through this, so if I'm not around as much for a while I hope you will understand.

Best wishes to all, handy.

Hi Handy, Your family comes first and always will, we understand that. We miss you when you're not around but we also know that you will be here when you can. We wouldn't want to drag you away when Mrs H needs you.

MIL is on a new journey now, Death isn't the end, its just the beginning of another chapter, a re~birth.

Hugs to you and Mrs H.

Geebee

She sounds like a rare gem of a lady. The perfect mixture of devilment and decorum - and the ability to know which one is right for the occasion!

I doubt I can word it better than Geebee, but we all completely understand it's a time to be with your family. I hope you can take a wee bit of comfort in knowing that we all are thinking of you and your family. And that you know where we are should you need to.

You share many of the qualities you admmire in your MIL; which is probably why you have made such an impression on us all. And why we miss you when you're away.

You take care xxx :A
