With life comes death

As I start this month celebrating Alex & Jazz's pregnancy and the thoughts and expectations of becoming a grandparent I'm faced with the reality my mums death is coming closer. In fact as I tap away at this blog I'm sitting next to the frail empty shell of my mum. 

Mum, Boo to her friends and loved ones, a lovely special lady who I love so dearly. Now the awful disease is taking her away from me, but to be honest she was taken away from us along time ago. The evil of Alzheimer's disease, taking away the person you love, leaving a withered shell, full of confusion, hickedly pickedly words, making no sense at all. 

Oh precious moments are still here, mum smiles, puckers up for a kiss, but it's the huge grin when you arrive, priceless.
