    Thank you for the lovely messages.

    A memory from yesterday which I will remember is she lifted her head a little looked at me for a few seconds and smiled at me. DD and I sat with her tonight and DD played her favourite CD softly and we talked to her and kissed her goodbye.

    boddy, sharing tears for you now, your photos and stories of Mum always made me smile, such a character. Thinking of you and your family, know how much you'll miss her x x x x wishing your Mum a peaceful rest x x x x

    I'm in this week thanks girls. Last week just ended up silly so I gave up. Had a good night out and a nice weekend with the kids. Projects start this week

    Oh I got some good news that I've got my courses next year funded too, so a relief and knowing I need to be more organised by January
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hello ladies

    I'm back! I wont say raring to go as I have accepted that I cannot keep trying to be superwoman. It wore me down trying to be everything to everybody and I have accepted that my sanity comes first even if that means giving in to some things including DD at times and housework at others :). I am back taking baby steps and I will attempt to do no more than level 1's all week so a BIG thank you to Piggers and the crew for still maintaining and posting new threads each week.

    I havent been reading much of the forums lately so I do apologise for not being up to date with you all so big hugs to all those who need one especially our boddy x There is little I can say to add to those who have posted before so I am just quoting pigpen who as always has said everything I would like to have done.

    Oh Boddy precious.. I am so sad for you.. I am glad her passing was peaceful and as is often the case they hang on until just after you leave. You have cared for her with such love and compassion these last few years which is a sure sign of the wonderful mum she has been to you and the wonderful daughter you are. I am certain she will leave a cavernous hole in your life but a piece of your heart has gone with her as a piece of hers has stayed with you.

    You know exactly where to find us all should you need us.. and if you need anything we can offer please don't hesitate to ask.

    I had thought it was sounding very like her time as soon as you said she was refusing her medication.. my gran did the same..

    Take care of yourself sweetness..
    xx

    I'm off to my pit now and wont be back on until tomorrow night when hopefully I will have reached my level 1 so I hope you all have agreat day tomorrow
