A Kind Of Farewell

Mum passed away today. It wasn't completely unexpected. She'd been in hospital for two weeks having not really come round from a virus she'd picked up. She'd been sleeping, not in any pain as such, for which we are thankful. In fact we wondered whether she might actually recover and go back to the nursing home. But now we know that was not to be.

Living half a world away from those you love can be very painful, especially in these circumstances.

We're now making arrangements to go back and bid some kind of farewell.
