This is so touching and so funny, Cherry. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing it. Your mum sounds a legend.
Reminds me of the medical comings and goings, family chaos, love, and sometimes near-hysterical laughter that surrounded my dad during (and after) his final hours. We joked that if he was looking on, it was a good job he enjoyed a good farce and Laurel and Hardy.
It was a Brian Rix farce of the day - absolutely up her alley Thank you Wendy - glad I wrote it down - the worst of times the best of times .... all that
Terrific -- sad, mundane, extraordinary, tragic comic, all in one narrative. Good to see that other readers feel the same way . . . .
A beautifully told piece of writing.
