Many thanks for all your good wishes but bad news I am sorry to day, Mam didn't make it through the night
My sister was sitting with her and Mam passed away peacefully just after 3am. My sister stayed while they changed Mam into a nice fresh nightdress and tidied her up and then rang her hubbie to drive her home. As we said, Mam is out of any suffering now and is at peace
At 93, Mam has had a good innings considering the fact that she has been in and out of hospital most of her life. She was born 5th Sept 1919, the smaller of twins. At less than 2lb weight, she survived whereas her bigger brother died at birth. So she was a fighter from the start it seems. She had TB when 16 or 18 and has always had a very weak chest, which she passed on to my sister and I in our asthma. I can always remember her having to go into hospital regularly over the years for her asthma. Later she developed angina too, and she had very bad arthritis with her hands and feet badly twisted and painful. But there you are, she got to 93 and it was only in the last 4 or 5 years that the dementia got to her and she was only diagnosed with altziemers 3 1/2 years ago, so she was able to see and enjoy her great-granddaughters grow up to age 7 & 11. And she did so love to see them :j Greatest loss was the death of her only grandson when he was only 21, knocked down and killed by a train, 18 years ago next week, so she doted on her only granddaughter, and, as I said, her two girls. The joy of her life and what kept her going, we think. They will miss her dreadfully and it will be hard as they lost their other great-grandma 15 months ago to cancer, their Uncle Alan Mr 3Dogs last year and now this, poor girls, but they now understand the cycle of life and death
I will take it easy today, have lunch here as Andy is doing a lovely roast beef dinner (free DTD beef from Tosco of course) and drive home later, about tea-time. Then drive up North tomorrow. I know there is no rush now, but my sister needs me and I will be there for her, and my brother too
So sorry to hear 3Dogs xSPC #329 £471/£500 banked

I was going to post a pic of my bare garden last night, but the conversation had moved on so I didn't bother.

thanks for new thread Locarr
Tesside,
I'm laughing as it is far from affluent. It's an old pit village:)
Having said that I FEEL very affluent and lucky too:)To do is to be. Rousseau
