It was Mum's birthday this weekend. She was very excited about the cake and candles! We gathered together - Graham, Susie, Millie, John, Charlie Orla and Roxanne and celebrated it with her. Mum was pretty confused, but seemed to enjoy having us around.Everyone was trying their best to be cheerful and upbeat but the occassion was tinged with sadness. Probably the last time we'll all be together.
Dad found the whole thing very hard. Mum's confusion in the days before her birthday, was tough to take for him.Roxanne has been visiting all week and staying with Dad. This has been a great comfort. As well as getting all the pots planted up in the garden, Roxy has been a superstar in keeping his spirits up and being there for the difficult visits to Mum's care home.
Keep thinking of us all!
