    Hello everyone,
    My darling Mum passed away earlier today, we were with her until the end and the wonderful hospice staff made it as peaceful as possible.
    I just wanted to say a big thank you to all that have supported me through such difficult times, it means a great deal to know that you were thinking of her and lighting candles etc.
    Still quite numb at the moment which is probably for the best, will go and have a hot bath now & maybe try to sleep for a while x

    What a lovely passing Lainey and I'm glad you had the strength to be there. Condolences to all the family.

    The way in which you have handled the last couple of months is so impressive, every little thing you could do for you DM you did, not forgetting the others in the family. You all gave her the best end that can be given.

    After the next hectic couple of weeks I hope you find time to have some happier events.

    Keep your DM's memory close. With love.

    Dear Lainey, I am so sorry for your dear Mum's passing, she is now at peace and you will have to face some difficult times, I hope you find a way of looking after yourself and be gentle to yourself. Sending thoughts, hugs and prayers to you and to all your family. xx

    (((HUGS))) Lainey I am so sorry for your loss. Please try and be kind to yourself now. x

    I'd planned to make a cheesecake and a quiche today; unfortunately my lupus had other ideas. So hopefully will do them tomorrow now.

    I have another one for you:

    When it's cool he wants it hot,
    Always wanting what is not.
