hadta hire a big sprinter friday night, early saturday morning drive 85 miles to march in cambs, then two hours loading up my mums furniture, then 220 miles up to newcastle and her new flat. shes gone to live in sheltered accom closer to my kid sister. got there at three, two hours to unload, then the 300 mile drive home. on the way back, got the awful news that my ex mother in law (jan, a wonderfull lady of 83), had taken a bad fall and was in a induced coma, not expected to make the night. i got home at eleven, straight to bed, next morning jan still alive but they had taken her off the ventilator as its just a question of time so i had a very fast and very illegal ride from norwich to peterborough hospital, then all day at her bedside with my son, ex wife and my bro in law. i know a lot of mother in laws are hard work, jan was wonderfull, treated me like a son, was incredibly kind to me in the twenty odd years i knew her. even lent me the money for a bike a coupla times many years back when things were tight. i left hospital about nine last night, shes still holding on somehow, as off this morning still alive and they have put her back on a drip to make her as comfortable as she can be but theres no changing the end. i will miss her fucking dreadfully. kinda feel like ive lost two mums this weekend. i really hope there is summat there after death, she deserves to be with her beloved george (he died many years ago),i like to think they will be together again, and walking my old labrador guinness for me, until im there. who knows hey...
