Our mortgage is on our first home and it's abroad. It gives me chills, when I think that we need to start saving for a deposit here:eek::eek:...reality is a point of view...0 -
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 for your loss. What a fabulous mum you had, so strong to come through everything she did.

New thread - TY
Completely lost the plot last few days due to smacking my head rather hard on a metal hinge last Thursday and feeling rough since
Just picked up 3dogs sad news - such a lot in one year ((()))
Apart from personal news, hope I haven't missed any unmissable glitches as too woozy to do much

Hope you're not too unhinged0 -
3Dogs, so very sorry to hear your sad news.
You have been a tower of strength to all around you over the last year and an inspiration to us all, so I know your family will appreciate your support and good sense right now. I lost my mum three years ago, and although it was very sad, as others on here have recently said there is also a great sense of relief that they are at peace and no longer suffering. You have been a fantastic daughter to her. Sending you a big hug and lots of love, Lutz xx.Hope is not a strategy.0 -
Lovely to see so many of the original elite popping in to offer thoughts to 3Dogs.0
