My mam was 43 when she had me her one and only as she called me...she was more of an animal lover than a kiddie person...its something that we would come to share a great love for all animals...the difference was she was a cat woman i was a doggy person..
Mam had a life many would dream of she always done what she wanted and what suited her, she went to NYC in the early 60's and lived a life many would dream of...she stayed there for 16years...she would come home every year for about 3 months always bringing her beloved persian Buttons with her (poor devil would be put into boards for 6 weeks)...one of her trips home her mammy was very sick so she stayed to care for her while she was here she fell in love with my wonderful Dad and decided to stay...unfortunately my Nanny died and 12 days later my granddad died...Mam held her head high though it all and was an inspiration...she was a great woman with the biggest heart of gold...she would never refuse anyone anything but her true love has always been animals our house was like a zoo growing up and we wouldnt of had it any other way...she loved musicals but the good old MGM ones...Calamity Jane, Oaklahoma, West Side Story it was another great trait she passed onto me...mam hated doctors would never go...unless completely nessecary...she had a bad cold after christmas couldnt really shift it..but everyone had it i mean everyone...and mam always found it hard to fight colds...she had pnemonia as a baby left her with bad lungs...5 weeks it was going on finally the doctor said i think you better go to the hospital...little did we know she wouldnt be coming back out...mam went in on Monday 23rd Feb...and she left us on Wednesday 25th...she took a massive stroke on Tuesday 24th went into a coma never to wake up...part of me died that day too...poor dad couldnt bear the ICU all the wires but i couldnt leave her she was my mam how do you leave your mam she would never of left you....i still cant believe your gone...i know your are is but it hasnt hit me i still expect to see you talk to you...hug you...i was a very lucky girl to have your as my mam i never wanted for anything with you, you always gave me the best of everything especially your love, your passion for animals...i miss you everyday mam...i hope your were and are proud of me...i love you Mam....I will look after Dad i know his heart is broken into a millions pieces....but i know your always with us...xxxxxxxxx
