Title: She didn't make it
Post by: cocopops on December 09, 2009, 21:02:59
My mad, talkative, bossy but untimately wonderfully Irish mother-in-law passed away today.  Noel was just a few hours too late, he has just arrived at his sister's home.  His sister was her main carer and having spoken to her it has not hit home yet. 

I found out before Noel because my niece posted a message on Facebook ???  I can understand that she wanted to tell her friends but at the end of the same thread she was going to chat to someone about their boyfriend problems  >:(

The only plus is that even though our daughter, Grace - 9, is devastated at least I had time to talk to her earlier in the evening.  She has cried that much I have given her lots of water and Calpol.

Sorry to hear Noel was too late, but lovely that you have good memories and are feeling sad to have lost your mother-in-law(Lots wouldn't!) I hope that you and your family can draw strength from each other and remember the good times together.

So sorry to read this.  What a shame that Noel didn't make it but he did his best and that's all he could do.  Thinking of you all,
Betty

I was "summoned" on a miserable December day to Hospital for my Mum, several years ago now, I made it with an hour to spare. I would have been gutted to be too late. 

Condolences to Noel and the rest of you...
