Glad you were all together at the end. After twenty years I still 'miss' being told what to do :-) {there being two sides to everything Mum's and the wrong one} -- Sewingsue in Scotland http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cra...olar/my_photos "M Rimmer" wrote in message ... My mum (Sheila) died last night just after 2am. She was at home, I was with her, along with dad, my sisters, and mum's brother and sisters. She'd had cancer for 7 years, so we knew it was coming but it didn't half go fast in the last few days. She taught me (without ever saying it in so many words) that everything made had been made by someone, and I could make things too if I just had the right materials, tools, and know-how, and she taught me that materials, tools, and know-how are all get-able. I'll always remember being lulled to sleep by the sound of her old Singer treadle machine she used to make clothes and soft furnishings. She could be an interfering old ratbag of the first water, but she was the only interfering old ratbag I had. When she knew the end was near she was very gracious and initiated a reconciliation between us, for which I had long yearned but been unable to begin. I think, above all, I am grateful for that. -- M Rimmer |

My sympathies, Mel.
It's always sad, even when expected; but how wonderful that you were able to be at peace together before she died. That was a lasting gift. ..

I was with my Mom when she passed and have *always* been glad I could give her that last parting gift of my companionship. I will always be upset about the fact that my DSis had to cross the Rainbow Bridge all alone. THAT makes me upset whenever I think of it. More healing hugs being sent your way.

Hugs and hugs, my dear Mel. I know from experience what a gaping hole this
leaves. It will slowly fill with warm memories, and it will always contain love. Karen, Queen of Squishies |
