Now I am going to worry about her until I see her next.

And if anything DOES happen to her, I will feel responsible for it.

Why do they not know this causes them severe heart palpitations

Mark try and not worry after all if I read your post correctly they asked you for a cappuccino.

She knew full well, but she was in a bit of a mood yesterday. I can't help feeling responsible though. Me and her get on so well, that they try not to put us on same jobs because (apparently) we muck around too much.

That's because your caring Mark honestly I'm sure she will be fine, I think this cappuccino has caused you a few palpitations though

Ps Did you not know work is not meant to be fun LOL

I know lol but for some reason when I work with her time flies past, like the other night we started shop floor at 7, get a message on our terminals at 10 to say break at half 10, I was like wow where has time gone.

Yes, I think it has caused me a few palpitations. I will make it clear to her that I will never buy her caffeinated beverages again.

Just popping in every now and again as we are in Dubrovnik. Weather is nice and warm, Not much entertainment at our area, but the drink prices are good, In the Old Town there is a few singers but the drink prices are double the price , A right rip off, that is my moan. We will be here till Thursday,

Glad you are enjoying your holiday nash

but l can certainly understand your disgust at the pricey drinks as my parents were on a cruise several weeks ago and the cruise ship was asking £10 for a bottle of lager and £6 for a bottle of Evian water.

Mum back in hospital and although we know it is truly the best place for her atm it is still hard. The cancer is taking over now at a rapid rate well it seems that way to me, as now my Mum is very confused the majority of the time and her personality has simply changed in the last month God love her all she does when we visit is cry and beg to come home which is hard on all concerned. I hate leaving her so what I did last night was waited till she fell asleep then left. The nurses were great as I stayed with my Mum until 11:25 and when I phoned this morning they said that she rested well so I'm glad I stayed till she was settled.

The trouble with my Mum is the cancer has affected her speech so badly that very few can understand what my Mother is trying to say which then leads to further upset for her

I pray every day that they find a cure for cancer then and then no family will ever need to watch this horrendous disease rob them of a family member.

Oh weenie I am so sorry to hear your news. I wish there was something I could say that would magically fix things for you. Please know that if I were able I would be giving you a massive hug.

heero_yuy · 13-05-2017, 16:53

Sorry to hear about your mum weenie. Have a virtual hug from Heero.

We're thinking of you and yours.

Weenie there's nothing I can add to the above except to be strong and try to think of happier times.

nashville · 13-05-2017, 17:23

Weenie I am thinking of you too, my heart goes out to you and your dear Mum, hugs Nash

Terrible times, I hope you find solace where you can and the strength to carry on, we're all here when you feel the need to vent frustration or get things of your chest

Thank you all for your kind words. I needed to catch up the laundry today school clothes, work clothes etc so hubby has taken my Dad up this afternoon and I will visit with my Dad tonight. It would be easier if my sister could do some nights and myself the day's but I guess that makes to much sense her to share taking my Dad up. At the moment during the week I will be leaving my house at 1pm then after dropping my Dad back home then I will get home about 5pm then back to Dad's at 6:15 then back home at 9pm but despite this being unfair when it could be so easily shared between my sister and our household my main priority is visiting my Mum and more importantly getting my Dad there to see his wife. I will never understand how someone can be so openly selfish and self centered in our situation but as I have said to my husband what does it really matter at the end of the day all that truly matters to me is my parents not the situation between me and my sister as tbh basically I am taking the advice of two CF members (thank you, you know who you are) and I have stopped making excuses as only she knows the why's and whats of her inaction of her duty as a daughter.

Sadly our close friend passed away earlier today surrounded by his beloved family.
