Well I never thought I'd post online about something so personal and private.  My mum has died just of lung cancer, it may also have spread.  This wee woman was the kindest, passionate,loyal,caring and most prefect protective mum anyone could ask for....everything she did was for her children...even keeping the illness from us (I'm guessing in order to protect).  I'm writing this knowing that the reality will hit me when i go down stairs in the morning and she isn't there....it's a horrible numb,empty and gut wrenching feeling....loosing your best friend and first friend...that person that accepted you for you despite of any quirkes..too the bravest woman I know...it has been an honour...and I know you are always still me x
