Hi All ,
Feel very sad today we have just emptied my parents bungalow and it has sold ready to pay for my mums care . Dad passed away last May from a brain tumour and mum was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia at the same time !!
The saddest thing of all was going through my mum's personal stuff with my sister .Although mum always said she wanted us to do this job not our brothers . Absolutely silly really but I totally broke down when my sister brought out this hand bag of mum's . Bin or charity she said , which she is right we had a job to do and I totally broke down over this stupid hand bag !!
I explained that in this hand bag was a purse , mum's purse and in this purse was a simple shopping list in mum's writing and a note on the back in dad's writing !! I now have the purse and the note which I will cherish !! silly really . The bag I told my sister was a heart breaker (one of many we have had over the past 18 months !) I had gone down to check on my mum one day and arrived at the bungalow to mum sitting on the settee with her hand bag full . I asked mum what was in the bag ,mum told me to look . She has put her slippers , nightie and toothbrush in there . I asked her why and she replied well I am coming to stay with you . That is to me the most saddest heart breaking moment I will ever remember and grateful that my lovely mum will not remember ! I just wanted to share my silly sentimental moment with you all .
