Yes, strange title perhaps..... but my beloved little rust bucket is due for its MOT again this week..... remembered it was due ... not because I am good with dates and generally being organised anymore .... But two years ago this week – was that fateful day I was NOT there to visit mum in hospital during the day when I would have otherwise chained myself to her hospital bed and prevented her from going through the farce of a PEG feed that was dictated by her consultant..... because my car was in the garage ....
Birthdays, anniversaries have come and gone ... in many ways I feel I have ‘moved on’.... but this particular ‘anniversary’ is already wreaking havoc..... guilt I wasn’t there to prevent what happened? Just that terrible sight of her being so traumatised when I finally got there I will never erase from my mind?
I like to believe I always tried my best – but that day I failed her ... just by not being there ......and it’s the one thing I just can’t seem to come to terms with ......
Sorry,
Kaz, x
