Firstly, thank you so much for your kind words. I did read the thread and its so nice to know I have all this support.
Obviously you will know that my Mum passed away last Saturday. She lost her battle to Cancer at the age of 54. It was really tough, I was by her bedside, along with the family, when she passed and I went into complete meltdown. The first few days after were up and down. My Dad, Brother and I sorted through all the photos we could find of Mum and have turned them into a slide show which will be shown at the wake. It was actually good thing to do as it kept us busy and made us think of the good times.
Unfortunately, 5 days after she died, my Gran (her Mum) passed away. She had been very ill for a while and I guess she was just holding on for my Mum so she could go and be with her, she was 82 and had a lot of problems so it wasn't unexpected, just bad timing. The weird thing is that I don't really have any emotion for her, I guess its all focused on my Mum at the moment.
My Mum's funeral is this Wednesday (my Grans will be the week after) and right now I'm sort of calm. I guess with terminal Cancer you already accept to inevitable but I'm sure after the funeral it will hit me hard, which is why I'm doing this thread now as I don't know how long I will be away for. Hopefully not too long.
Anyway, just to let you know that I'm doing 'OK' and will be back on, full time, eventually. Thank you again, I've missed you lot
P.S: Sam to win!
