Since I wrote last my mum died. I managed to get back to Australia and spent a day with her before she died. We were called into the hospice at 2:30am the next morning and two hours later she died. Mum just waited for my brother, who was driving down from Sydney, to arrive before she died. She was an incredibly generous and kind mum and I can't believe she is no longer with us. My dad is keeping himself busy, but no doubt he really misses her.
I had a lot more in this blog, but I have gone back and taken it out for a separate blog.I felt that my mum was such a special person she shouldn't have to share this space with talk about Uni or research.
200 people came to my mum's funeral. I think that says a lot about the kind of person she was. At the funeral a man came to tell me his son-in-law had died three weeks earlier and that my mum -even though she was about to go into the hospice- took the time to write to the man asking if there was anything she or my dad could do to help. That was who my mum was. Selfless, caring and very kind and generous.
We miss you mum!!
