    Firstly - thank you to all of you for your kind words and support on my last post - did make me shed a tear but in a good way.

    Mum passed away at 3.50am this morning, i was with her and it was very peaceful, she just slipped away.

    i don't mean to sound like a horrible person and i think deep down if people are in the same position as me think the same - but sometimes, don't you just wish that the suffering would end even if early, but just so the suffering would stop.

    Before christmas, mum had a bleed in her stomach - they've managed to sort that, but she's still getting weaker - now not eating anything at all just has three drinks a day…
