A Sad Day


Early yesterday morning my mother passed away in her sleep. She would have been 89 tomorrow. She was a kind and gentle soul. Ever since my father died 5yrs ago she has been drifting away but thankfully she has always recognized her children, me and my 2 brothers and 2 sisters. We have been blessed with 2 wonderful parents and now they are both gone.

    I'm so sorry. The death of a mother, even if it's half expected, is always a cruel blow.

    Dear Kate - my heartfelt sympathy. It is very sad to lose your parents, but how wonderful that she died peacefully in her sleep and knew and loved you all to her last breath. Take care of yourself and your loved ones now. Warm thoughts Claire - aka Greenie x
