Life’s Funny Turns
There we were happily living towards Christmas. My last journal entry was a jolly one and hinting of the fun evening with Mark ahead on Thursday.
When I arrived home from work on Thursday I had a phone call from my distant brother is which he informed me that my mum is seriously ill in hospital and that he wasn’t at that time in a position to talk but would explain more later.
To church I went and enjoyed an evening of Mark Brandist entertaining the audience in the style he does so well!
Later I spoke to my brother again who told me the state of the illness. Me and the Bird decided that we must therefore go to Gloucester and see her. So today, Saturday 19th we are travelling the 3 hour journey to stay with my sister and visit mum in hospital.
The results of tests have not be validated yet but it seems that she has cancer. There is a tumour in her lungs, a large growth in her stomach, her liver is infected with it and her back bones have it too.
So things are not good at the moment. It may be a while before I get to update this journal and for that I apologise.
