It's a year ago today that my mother was admitted to hospital and then started the last six weeks of her life. She was well cared for and very accepting of the fact that she was never to be able to go home again and live independently.

It was hard for me to accept the reality that life would never be the same again. I miss her every day but I am grateful for the many happy memories I have. I know this is obvious but its only possible to ever have one mother, if you are lucky enough to still have yours, treasure the time you have with her.
