What are you waiting for?
My beautiful Mum joined the angels in heaven on Valentine's Day 2013. My sister Neeky had called me to let me know Mum was having a wound cleaned and dressed and it required surgery. I tried not to panic as it was just small surgery and she would be coming home within a day or two.
My world fell apart with the next phone call, Neeky was telling me something had happened during the operation and Mum was to have emergency surgery on a tear in her bowel. This was unbelievable, how could something so minor go so terribly wrong.
The next 6 hours was a blur to me, I jumped in my car and drove to be with Mum and my sisters. For 4 days we sat beside Mum, telling her how much we loved her, talked to her, laughed with her and cried so many tears.
The doctors told us her condition was grim and she might not make, it was a roller coaster ride of emotions for all of us but we refused to give up hope. Our Mum is a fighter and she will get through this!
Mum tried to hold on to our love, tried so hard to stay with us but all the fluid pumped into her via drips caused her lungs to fill up and she developed pnemonia, she had no strength left to fight.
At 1.50pm on Valentine's Day we held our Mum close as she joined our Dad, the love of her life , in the arms of the angels.
