I realise with a shock that I have not noted here my mother's passing, on the 4th May this year - the same day on which my father died fourteen years ago. She had been admitted to hospital with back pains, but her condition was not considered to be serious and she was looking forward to coming home.
On the 3rd I asked my sister if I should go up to Sheffied to help, but Jane thought everything would be fine and we all relaxed. Jane said she'd visited mum in hospital that evening and left when she went to sleep. The following morning she rang to say that mum never woke up. As ways to go, it probably tops the list.
Perhaps later I'll have more to say.
