  • Relative not close to me but DH's aunt and only other surviving member of family on his Dad's side apart from his mum. She was 94, had both legs amputated and totally deaf. A blessing really.

    There are more of you out there with problems larger than mine. Please take care.

    By the way I hoovered tonight for the first time in 10 days! You will think me terrible! However, bathroom cleaned every other day and deep cleaned today!

    Love GB xxx

    Th ank you for sharing that with us Grannybroon.
    At least she is not suffering any more, but even when people have had a good innings and have been suffering and even when it is expected, it can still be a shock and obviously is still very upsetting. But as you say it's probably a blessing.
    Well done for the vacuuming!!!

    Keep your chin up and take care.
