Thank you all for your love and patience over the past few weeks. Â Firstly I had a week off from blogging to catch up on tasks around the home and on the blog. Â However I came down sick and made the decision to have another week off to finish what I needed. Â However things never seem go to plan. Â
Thursday night before last my mum was admitted to hospital as she started to slur when speaking along with a few other unusual symptoms. Â Dad drove her straight to emergency despite her insisting she was fine. Â Doctors suspected she had a mini stroke. Â However the following day they did scans and found mum had a brain tumor. Â Unfortunately 2 days later she had a seizure as the tumor had grown significantly and they sent her to have emergency surgery. Â After the surgery Mum struggled to breath on her own and only rarely opened her eyes. Â She could hear us talking to her and at times could nod and shake her head. Â She was trying so very hard, however sadly mum lost her battle yesterday. Â
These past 10 days have been the hardest I have ever had to endure. Â I still can’t believe it as it all happened so unexpectedly and quickly. Â There was so much I wanted to say and share with my mum, it wasn’t her time to go.Â
I mentioned in my post about feeling the difference that somebody close to me had lost her mum and I watched as her home change, she became a hoarder.  I was wanting this person to read my blog and become inspired to live with less around her.  This person was my mum.  I know she was very proud of me, my blog and my efforts, I was just patiently waiting until she was ready. Â
It maybe slow here on the blog again this week as we plan the funeral, but posting and chatting to you all may take my mind off things too. Â Over the following weeks I will be helping my dad to tidy their house. Â
I miss my mum with all my heart, thank you all for understanding my absence at this difficult time. xx Â
Mum, my eldest daughter and I
