I would like to share with you somthing that not many people close to me know. My mum had suffered from Multiple sclerosis since i can remember. First off it started off as a problem with walking and needed an arm if she got tired or felt abit funny. She then progressed to use a walking frame as she was still able to walk but not very much. She eventualy needed a wheelchair and could easliy wheel her self about quite happly.
More equipment was brought in as she needed a chair lift for her to be able to get to bed and some professional caring help to aid her in her daily routine in dressing and washing. This was ongoing for a good 15 years or so and was difficuly for my family as MS is a strange condition as it makes the person slow in response not only physicly but mentaly, as if i asked a question she would think about it for quite a long time even somthing simple as 'did you want the lights on or off?'
She had a stroke about 3 years ago that crippled her left side that made her worse and bed bound. We eventualy had to convert our dining room into a bedroom where a hoist could be used in getting her into bed and into her specalised wheelchair.
But this moning she passed away which was a complete shock to all of us as she was fine yesterday when i last spoke to her. She was always upbeat and laughed all the time even with such a dreadful illness as she had, im sure there were time when it got to her but she never showed it.
In these kind of events it really makes you relise who are importent in your life and you look back and may regret some things, the one thing i would like you all to do is to take a moment today and let your family/loved ones know that you love them becasue you may not get another chace for them to hear thoes words again.
Thanks for listening
RIP Mum
