wow i really am touched by the amount of you that have commented or sent me a message saying my rambles make you smile and that your sadly in same boat :( i am glad that in my own little madness i can offer support and comfort to others.
i just wanted to mention my mum, i feel sometimes those closest get forgotten - i know my mum is trying to stay strong, like me and my sister but she lives with dad, sees him daily at his best & worst and it must be difficult seeing the man you love suffer with this horrid illness.
i know when dad was admitted into hospital last november i felt just as useless but its only now i realise how hard it is for my mum as she is often forgotten, folk ask how her husband is but not many ask how she is - thats why i make a point of asking her daily too and let her know im thinking of her too.
dad is really struggling today (day after 1st ecx) its hit him and mum is in the garden distracting herself - i think she feels if she falls apart then dad will - i dont know yet again i am rambling....
point i want to make is please please dont forget those that live with those suffering with cancer - they are often forgotten, swept aside and they are struggling in silence - yes im a daughter but im not around my dad 24/7 i have a break from seeing him, mum doesnt.
hugs from thisbutterfly on this lovely afternoon (yup i did finally sleep!!)
