She's a lot stronger than me that's for sure. I'm a wreck this morning

 

[Janine]

In a way, it’s lovely to have this special time with her. There is always so much you wish you had said afterwards.

Stay strong xx

 

[Northernraider]

I know , I've Been thinking that way too , but she's upset at how much my sister is having to do .


I'm also worried about my sister as she has health issues too , she just had some funny turn In here earlier I thought she was having a stroke...but its apparently some sort of migraine ...orbital or something. But one side of her body was having this weird spasm thing and her face all dropped on one side , this was all stuff I didn't know about.

Jees I feel like I'm gonna be a bloody orphan soon the way it's all going

Take care

Battery was nearly charged when I left so it didn't need much .

I'd used about 5ah when I went to bed last night but that was replaced this morning by about 9.30

I’m so pleased that your mum is strong enough to face up to stuff for all your sakes! So many try to pretend it’s not happening, & don’t get chance to say how much they love each other, & how grateful they are to have had each other. Spend time with your mum & don’t go all manly - tell her everything you want her to know! Don’t worry about crying - you’d be odd if you didn’t! Hold her hand & rabbit on about all sorts - this is an important time, that may be all too short. Another big hug coming your way!

They are lovely photos, I got a bit of dust in my eyes looking at them. for you all.

Tam its a very hard time for you all as a family. Supporting each other is very important, this will be seen by your dear Mum. In turn this will help your Mum. Time is very precious.

 

[Gina M]

Yes definitely...ela in particular.

And I think mum's went in to setting her house in order mode.

Had a very tearful morning , she's given me her wedding ring and an old silver pendant with photos of my brother ,sister and I inside

My mum gave me her wedding ring and engagement ring weeks before she died, I feel your pain Tam x

Morning Tam. Those photos of your Mum are lovely. Sending hugs to you and do please look after your sister it doesn’t sound good. She has been looking after your Mum whilst you were away and no doubt feeling just as lost as you too at the thought of losing her Mum

Hopefully you can both get those pics with your mum before it’s too late. Don’t leave it

Forgot to post pics of solar panels ...Still lots of room up there if I needed to add more later . But that would only be if I added a second battery.

With TV and media player and 3 lights on last night from around 8pm till midnight battery was at 89ah last night , fully charged by around 12pm today, but cloudy most of today too. Battery has good cell balance too

Hard to believe you mum is so ill seeing those photos of her.

Hard to believe you mum is so ill seeing those photos of her.

I know , that's the hard part. But the wheezing and breathlessness has got really bad over the last week , I've noticed such a difference since I left. She's now out of breath just talking and wheezing constantly. But she's in great spirits , and she's happy which is the main thing, she's getting enjoyment from giving things to people and being able to see them , she keeps saying how good it is to have the chance to see people and pass her things down knowing they will be enjoyed etc. So I'm glad that she feels that way just now, a lot of it is upsetting though. Can't leave her alone now though so it's shiftwork between my sister and I.

 

[corconx]

It’s so good your mum is giving her things to folk she wants to. Much better than family fighting over everything. She does look wonderful in these photos Just enjoy what time you have but do look out for your sister as I expect she’s shattered and really sad too.

Lovely pictures. Thanks for posting them. Despite her situation, your Mum is actually fortunate to have the time to give her loved ones gifts as it gives her pleasure. Not everyone gets that precious time. Remember to look after yourself and your sister as well as your Mum. Cuddles to the dogs.

[Langtoftlad]

I think she's made her peace.

 

[pagey]

Certainly a lady with dignity

 

[Podney]

Tam,you’re doing everything right for your mum. Well done fella. The next few weeks will be hard,but you have the guts to cope with it. And dozens of funsters to support you.
The inevitable is always a shock,even when it’s expected. My mums last words at 92 were “Lovely life thank you”. Thinking of you.

 

[Littlewheels]

MH looking good inside and out now Tam as you appear to be finally over the restoration, have you given any further thought to the Graphics?

Have u thought about having it vinyl wrapped

 

[Northernraider]

Have u thought about having it vinyl wrapped

I've seen ones that have been wrapped before and often full of bubbles. It's not great on fibreglass or aluminium

 

[Manic]

Did you see what size the old panel was.

 

[Littlewheels]

You could go all covert with a beefed up look all Arnie like.
