There will be good days and bad days but we are all here for you.

This is something you and your Dad have had to face the possibility of for so long, but the reality of your Mum passing and doing what needs to be done now is still hard. Well done to you both on beginning the daunting task of going through your Mum's things, and all the official stuff that needs doing. Take care driving home, Joy.

My dad is at the end of his life and is currently very poorly in hospital so your recent posts have resonated with me. I was very sorry to read this morning that your mum passed away please accept my condolences. I love that Pooh quote you used it is very appropriate I think. Take care. xMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.com
