This is in memory of my Mum Ann who passed away suddenly on 16 October 2009. My Mum had 3 children my elder Brother Benny, myself Diane and younger Sister Angela. Mum had been with her Partner Malcolm for 34 years and had 8 grandchildren. Jennifer, Rebecca, James, Nicola, Keiron, Jordan, Calum and baby Karis.
She had been suffering COPD which is a chronic lung condition caused on by smoking for the last few years. This restricted her lifestyle dramatically and resulted in her relying on oxygen to carry out minor tasks. Over the past couple of years she rarely left the house as her condition made it virtually impossible to walk due to breathing difficulties.
Mum frequently took chest infections due to her condition, and was admitted to hospital as a result of this 12 days before her passing. None of us were aware at that time of how unwell she was. It was not in fact until the hospital contacted us in the early hours of the morning to tell us to get to the hospital urgently that we anticipated that it was in fact life threatening.
She was in the HDU for 9 days, and the consultant and nursing staff tried everything they could to help her recover. The truth was her lungs were so badly damaged that her lungs would just not function anymore. The agonising decision was then taken to withdraw treatment as it was obvious to all that she was not improving and was indeed suffering. Mum fought on for a further 3 days following the withdrawal of treatment, which proves she had the heart of an ox.
One of the last things you said to me Mum was to "LOVE YOU FOREVER" and I want you to know that i promise to do that and to keep your memory alive with your grandchildren who will be too young to remember you. Please look after wee Aimee for me who was born too soon in 1999, and give me a sign from time to time to let me know you are around us.
Sleep tight
Diane

An Angel's Kiss
We go through life so often,
Not stopping to enjoy the day.
And we take each one for granted,
As we travel on our way.
For in your pain and sorrow,
An Angel's Kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private,
For it is meant for only you.
We never stop to measure,
Anything we just might miss.
But if the wind should blow by softly,
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A kiss that is sent from heaven,
A kiss from up above
A kiss that is very special,
From someone that you love.
So when, your hearts are heavy,
And filled with tears and pain.
And no one can console you,
Remember once again.
About the ones you grieve for,
Because you sadly miss.
And the gentle breeze you took for granted,
Was just an Angel's Kiss.

Hiya Mum
Well I did ask you to show me a sign you were around me!!! Some strange things going on around here. Baby Karis refusing to sleep in her room and baby monitor keeps going off, musical toys also going off when no kids in the room!! I guess that's you letting me know you are ok. Angela says it was a year last week since Uncle Billy passed over, I hope you had a few vodka's up there. Becky not so good just now she's coming to terms with the epilepsy and not coping very well, hope you can give her a wee bit spiritual support from the other side.
Anyway I'll sign off now, but need you to know I think about you every day and wish you were still here.
Love you Diane
Mum
Have been trying not to think about you, it's easier that way. I'm trying to be strong for everyone around me by just keeping busy. I got hospital appointment in the other day for a test I know you've had and the first thing I thought was " I need to phone my Mum" I actually picked the phone up before it dawned on me you were "gone". I only let my guard down late at night when everyone else is in bed I don't like them seeing it all getting to me. Hope you are ok and can breathe easier now. I know you were scared at the end but hopefully you knew we were there. It's still all surreal to be honest but I hope you can give me a sign to let me know you are around me sometime once you've settled in.
Love you Mum, Diane XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
LOVE YOU MUM

Diane, James and Girls
