MUM HAD A PROBLEM WITH HER BRAIN, I PHONED HER EACH DAY AND I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG THE WAY SHE WAS TALKING, SO CONFUSED. I SAID SHE HAD HAD A STROKE BUT THE HOSPITAL SAID NO. SHE WAS OUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS BUT WENT BACK IN BECAUSE IT WAS DECOVERED SHE HAD GONE BLIND. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHO I WAS. THEY SCANNED HER AND SAID WHAT I DID IN THE FIRST PLACE , HOWEVER SHE WAS JUST GETTING WORSE, WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE DOCTORS ABOUT TREATMENT AND I TOLD THEM WHAT MUM SAID TO ME A FEW YEARS EARLIER THAT IF SHE WAS LIKE THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO LIVE, SHE ALSO TOLD MY SON IAIN THE SAME (R.I.P. IAIN) SHE COULD NOT SWALLOW PROPERLY BY THEN, SHE WAS NOT HAPPY BEING TRAPPED INSIDE HER MIND, SHE WAS TEARING OUT HER DRIPS AND NAASOGASTRIC TUBES, THE DOCTORS AGREED TO NO TREATMENT ACCEPT TO HELP KEEP HER OUT OF PAIN.
      THE DAY SHE PASSED WAS AWFUL TO WITNESS AND I COULD NOT STAY WITH HER. I AM SURE SHE WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD. SHE WENT SHORTLY AFTER I LEFT. 
      GOD BLESS YOU MUM, I DID THE POEM FOR YOU THE DAY YOU DIED, IT JUST FLEW INTO MY HEAD, I NEVER NEEDED TO THINK OF WORDS IT JUST CAME OUT I HOPE YOU LIKED IT ! R.I.P. MUM. XXX
