Sincere condolences @rancid-a
These things tend to bring a mix of emotions, I couldn't get to my mum in time for her final moments. Missed them by 20 mins. I felt relieved that her suffering was over for her sake and anger that I couldn't get there in time. So so angry at the world, and myself although with time I have learnt to accept that I did my best and I know my mum, as yours too, would not want you to feel guilty or selfish or anything like that. I know this because I am a mum and wouldn't want my kids to feel those feelings if it plays out like that for me.

Westie983 said:I'd already assured told Dragon Lily she could save virtually here as you & I agreed last year, Westie! Still, it's up to her which she chooses, if either.Hi Potters! I hope you all enjoy your Thursday, a very cold start, but certainly very sunny. To all those who are feeling low or ill in any way, I really hope you're soon very much better. Best wishesI completely agree with all you're saying, dfw38, it makes perfect sense. Still, sadly neither the parent or their offspring gets to choose. 😔 I was fortunate in being there for the last 3 days for my dear mum, but even then it was very hard as she had altzeimers and hadn't any real knowledge of my being there. None of us can win really though!Good potting!Great potting Keedie!Thanks very much indeed Siju! Crikey what a brilliant weekend you all had!

I take it you're home again then and hope you had a really lovely break. 😃Have a lovely weekend everyone, but beware of that bitter weather and especially the snow as well asicy roads and freezing fog!!SueNB folks: Opening date for SPC 16 is 26TH October 2023!BEFORE if you wish BUT NO LATER PLEASE!
