The last two days have been really horrible. Mam has been unresponsive since the early hours of yesterday morning. Everyone has been to see her in the hope that it will help her go. She is still hanging on. She hasn't eaten or drunk in this time. Everyone is still talking to her and holding her hand, but I can't. It brakes my heart watching her struggle to breath. I want to be like everyone else but I just can't bring myself to do it. I hope she knows how much I love her.
Up until yesterday I could go home and pretend like everything was normal, but now that things are coming to an end it's really scary. Dad will probably give up after this as he has no reason to stay.
