Yep - got a call in the hospital this morning to say Mum had passed away.
Not totally unexpected because she has been slowly deteriorating for quite some time - but it still comes as a shock when it happens.
Apart from the smoking - Mum was a model on how to live your life. She faced every new challenge, every set back and every good fortune with the same pragmatic "get on with it attitude" that I could only ever aspire to.
Mum & Dad were soul mates and we were all amazed at how Mum just got on with things when he died. When she lost her mobility, she just got on with it, when she had to sell the house she had lived in for 48 years, she just got on with it. Accept the situation, overcome and adapt may not have been her conscious motto but it may well be her epitaph.
We'll miss ya Ma - see you when the weather breaks :) xo
