well
i thought about this
and i dont think we would need to put in anything very spectacular
i mean, i know my mum will just be over the moon with the "calander" itself
so i thought even things like those little 10ml perfume samples you get

she would get up not knowing whats inside todays, and she has a nice little spritz of perfume she probably wouldnt buy herself:)

i made "chill pill" bath bombs a few years ago
i have a mold, that makes them like tablets
i could make a wee bag of those, so she could have a relaxing bath that night

the possibilities are quite endless

i think i will try one of the pots this afternoon and see how they look
i dont want to use them to save money if they look a bit rubbish:o

They are lovely. Think I will wait to see if I go to America to help out. So far she has coped amazingly but I feel she will need us soon.

i often think of them seths gran
the ministers husband here has been diagnosed with something that sounds VERY similar
very much so

i'm afraid i have a very childish attitude to things like this
all the horrible bad people who seem to breeze on through life
and them who deserve so much better than this are stricken down
its just not fair

I can totally understand that emotion. We are human beings after all. I worry as she has asked if we have paperwork ready to go as soon as she needs us. She hasn't asked that before and I know how I'll he is

a reassuring back up seths gran
we all need our mums, no matter how old we are
just knowing you COULD be there at a moments notice is prbably a huge comfort to her
