Sorry for your loss, Dan. It's a tough thing to go through when you're so far away. At least you have good memories of the last time you saw her. Have a safe trip back.

Sad to hear the news Dan .... but I know she loved the christmas with you all ....


now to lighten the mood a bit ...
I was telling my mum about this at the weekend...she is 88 ...
and she delighted in telling me she has added to my inheritance
last week ....

she bought 5 new pairs of shoes
the old croan is probably still laughing about that
LOL

I'm so, so sorry to hear about your loss Dan and I can only say the same as the rest, that the memory of your last Christmas together will be with you forever and your mum is now no longer suffering and is at peace. I wish you a safe journey back to be with your family at, what must be, a very sad time for you all.

Dan,

Thumbs up mate. Sorry for your loss. It's times like this you feel so isolated.

Hope it gave you some comfort, having spent Christmas together.

Safe Travels.


Jim.

lyonsden1193 and I both send our heartfelt condolences - we can relate very well to your having had a last visit as we were able to do the same just before his brother passed. Our thoughts will be with you, hoping ours and everyone else's will help buoy you up while you do what you must.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Don't second guess anything you did or didn't do. I believe that things happen the way they do for a reason. I've gone through something very similar. The pain dulls but never really goes away - you always miss a loved one. The best medicine is the wonderful memories you have of your mother.

Hi Dan, very sorry your mother has passed to the other side. Its the toughest thing us Expats deal with. Just remember all the good times and give a cheerful grin when you remember her.

Best Frank R.

Condolences for your loss Dan. I've just come back from a 16 day visit to UK because my mom has cancer too. Fortunately she is responding well to the treatment and is back in her own home now. If the worst should happen sooner rather than later, I won't feel bad about not being there as I have seen her at her best recently and that's how I would like to remember her.
