This photo is a reminder of just what an amazing lady Mum was. Taken shortly after she had been transferred from Wexham Park Hospital to the St. Marks Nursing Home in Maidenhead, where she would spend the last few weeks of her life with her bowel cancer now terminal. Throughout four and a half years of treatment she took everything that was thrown at her - never complaining, dignified, courageous, and with a steely determination to get through.
She had been bedridden in hospital for almost a couple of months following a huge seizure caused by the cancer spreading to the brain. This had left her paralysed down one side, and caused problems with her speech. To then see her outside in the garden at the nursing home with a glass of wine was pretty special 😊❤
The photo popped up into Facebook memories this morning. Understandably it was a sad time, but there were still plenty of lovely moments enjoyed with mum during those weeks x
