Since my Mum died from her third heart attack. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday in so many ways.

She will have been busy lately, with so many of my friends passing away, I always imagine her as she was in life, ready with a cuppa and piece of cake to any visitor or newcomer.

Hope you have time to watch out for us, Mum.

My brother has his 63rd birthday on Sunday so I rang him last evening. His b.i.l is very ill in hospital here, having had a major stroke while in a nursing home. He was sent home (long story) from America where he had been living for a long time by his exwife as he had had some ministrokes, she then sold his condo etc and put the money in his account. He keeps asking, with signs as he can't speak, for scissors so he can cut his own throat, poor man. The hospital is a round trip of about 30 miles for them to visit. My brother still runs his own tax accountancy.


A good friend of my brothers is in another nursing home, bed bound and very ill.
My brother plays squash and golf and walks his Wolf hounds often and has 5 acres of garden. He was told he had atriall fibrulation and had tests on his liver recently, apparently it's not the problem, it's a further problem with the pumping action of his heart, he's on so many tablets as well as warfarin.

I hope he will be ok, there have been so many instances of heart disease in my family
comng out as years go by.

I wonder when I will hear some positive news? I bumped into a friend earlier in the week and he asked if I had heard the news about his brother. There was a nasty accident in March when a 60yr old man fell 10ft from a crane at work and died. I knew the name was familiar but coudn't place him - it was my friends brother.

All those I have mentioned are/were good people, there is no justice!

A lot for you to think about Liz. Life can be very cruel sometimes. Keep your chin up and today especially, remember the many happy times you shared with your Mum.XX

Thinking of you Liz. Sometimes so much happens all at once and we think we will not get through it, but we do somehow. Take care.xx

Life can be very cruel

I was in Wiltshire in 1980 to be with our daughter who had just had our 1st grandchild on the 14th May

I rang mum to say he was born and his name but didnt know his weight at that time

Daughter was in hospital for 8 days and I was staying for a few days after she came home to settle her and the baby . Hubby was Army and they were in Warminster .

Well Mum went to stay for the bank holiday weekend with my youngest brother and his family when she had a massive heart attack and passed away at his home on the 23rd May 1980.

Sadly the brother she was staying with passed away last year so it will be a very poignant anniversary next week :-( :-( :-(

Two years ago I was lying in a hospital bed having just had a quadrupal by-pass, following my third heart attack. Fortunately all test show that my heart is in good order, it was just the plumbing that was dodgy. I haven't let it stop me doing what I want, within reason, and healthwise I feel good. Think positive.

After being in a bad marriage for 13years after two years on my own with three children I met a lovely man we married after eight years together but he died two years later leaving me a widow at forty six that was nineteen years ago he was the love of my life and there has been no one since. Thinking of you Liz

Thinking of you Liz. My dad died 11 weeks ago at 8pm and I will think of him every sat at 8pm. xx
