Just over 3 weeks ago, me and the missus was down with the van in skeggy.
Got a phone call off her brother to say her mother was in hospital with slow pulse / blood pressure and unable to go to the toilet so we jumped in the car and drove home pretty quick
By the time we got there, she had been un bunged and was sat up eating friggin icecream and eyeing up the young doctors
. She was 93 ;
Our lass gave her a tongue in cheek bollocking for having us worried and off we drove back to the van.
The next evening we decided to go out for a meal. Found the indian we use and sat down.
We was just about to order when her brother rings.
Her mother has had a seizure and the paramedics couldn't wake her up.
We knew it wasn't good and with the missus in hysterics because she was away with a ex boyfriend when her father past away after a massive stroke 28 years ago, I set off home.
The speeds I was doing was enough to get me locked up and it got to the point that I had to force myself to slow down or I know we wouldn't have made it
By the time we got to the hospital, the brakes had pretty much gone.
Sadly, her mother passed away while we were about half way home and the crazy drive was in vain
I still find myself asking if I could have done anything different but deep down inside, I know I couldn't
Al, nobody knows what's around the corner and that's just the way life is
I know it hurts now but it will get easier mate with time.
So sorry for your loss
Steve and family
