Waiting

1 minute read time.

Thanks for the kind words and wishes everyone.

I sat up with her last night and after a few hours sleep, my Dad woke me.  A family friend, who used to be a cancer nurse, had stayed up to sit with her.  I was told by her that my mum on her way.  So I went and sat with her.  Today has been an incredibly stressful and upsetting day.  My mum is still with us.  We had to call out the nurses a few times to give her pain meds and meds to calm her agitation.

The house is full of family and friends at the moment.  I have said to her what I wanted to say and have just spending time with her.  We are just waiting now to be honest. 

I can't articulate how proud I am of my mum.  She has been through so much and I deeply admire her resilence.  The love which she shows to her two children is phenomenal.  She is just a selfless person, always looking out for others before herself.  The sheer number of people visiting her now is testament to that.

At the moment, I am scared of how I am going to cope in the future without her.  But I'm trying not to think about that too much now.
