Mothering Sunday

This is rather a sad post to be composing with Mothering Sunday this weekend. It is a week today since Mummy died suddenly and completely unexpectedly on 1st March. She never enjoyed having her picture taken but I managed to find these two, taken when we visited the Quilt Exhibition at the V&A. The picture above shows my sister, Jane, Mummy and me. The photo below shows us joined by my DS David for lunch.
At the moment everything seems so surreal. Mummy suffered a spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage and wouldn't have known anything about her trip to hospital, the attempt to harvest some of her organs or the final visit we made to say goodbye. For her it was a perfect way to leave, no fuss, no pain. For us? Well I think we are all still in shock.

Rest in Peace
