In 1999 i fell pregnant with my 2nd child i was 24, jade was 5 now, mam was so pleased, Megan was born on the 23rd january "my mam's birthday" mam was over the moon,a few days past, mam wasnt very well, i went to see her i pleaded with her to go to the doctors, but she said "no" like she always did if she was poorly! the next day she didnt have no choice, she was paralized from the waist downwards! she was rushed to middlesbrough hospital by police escort! where they found a tumour on her spine,they opperated, mam was put in intensive care, mam was writing us note's saying she was stronger than what we thought, and i always knew she was, she asked what the doctors said? but how could we tell her? not yet anyway, the doctors told me and my sister it wasnt curable they could only prolong her life for a short time, she was in hospital for 5months, having chemotherapy, she was poorly most of the time, not the woman she was! mam still worried about everyone else, instead of herself! she came home, planning out what she was going to do when she could walk again, sometimes mam was happy other days she was very down and lethargic, not the mam i knew! but me and my sister always there doin what we could for her, willing and praying she would get a little bit of "her" back! she decided she wanted to go into a restbite to give herself a little break, i'd visit most days, still wanting to be by her side! she was so happy, showing me round the place, her bedroom was lovely, cosy and she said i've always wanted a bedroom like this! she even told me while giggling that she was allowed a little tipple(baileys) it was the best i'd seen mam for ages, i came home feeling relieved! a few days went by, then one morning i got a phone call saying could i pick some antibiotics up for mam, she was layed in her bed, couldnt be bothered, looking really poorly, but the chemotherapy did that to her so we thought it was that, before i left her, she said i love you, i kissed her and told her i loved her more! the next day 1st august 2000, i got a phone call saying mam had passed away, it was like a bad dream, this wasnt supposed to happen yet, i wasnt there with her! i went straight to mams house, dont know why? it was like i could do something but i couldnt, it just wasnt sinking in, mams funeral came and went! life's not been the same since, mam should have had a better life than she did, she deserved so much more, she was one of a kind, i've asked myself the same old questions over and over and still no answers, ROBBED! thats how i feel, they definatly take the good one's 1st,Mams memory will go on and on, she has a great family who love her, and good friends, sweet dreams mam, love you forever, i am so proud to have you as my mam, no words can describe the way i feel about a very special lady...... love tracy xxxx xxxxxxxx
