My Mam is still with us,
she is a warrior, I told her this the other day,
she says, I dont want to warriorer any more,
its hard not to cry in front of her,
sometimes she knows how ill she is,
mostimes she doesnt.

My sister and I are working to taking mam home from hospital
it will be hard, but not as hard as hearing her say everyday,
I want to go home.

Tomorrow, we are meeting with the pallitive care people,
and we are going to try to get her home, if they say
its medically okay, then it is happening, we will manage,
My mam deserves to be in her home, in her comfort,
and whilst the care she is receiving in hospital is great,
its not home, and its not where she wants to be.

For those of us who gets the chance to say goodbye,
to be with our loved one in their last days, no stone should
be left unturned, no effort should be too hard,
Sometimes you only get one time to say,
I love you, sometimes you get loads,
You should take each time.

M
