Last weekend I sat and happily made these two cards for my Mums 90th Birthday which was on Tuesday. We took the cards and the presents into the Care Home she is now living in and had a lovely half hour (our allotted visiting time) talking to her through a window and a hearing loop. We left flowers for her and so had other people, so many in fact that when my sister visited that afternoon she laughed and told her that her room look just like a flower shop. Who would have thought that less than three days later she would be taken from us, so suddenly and with no apparent reason. She had seemed very healthy and happy when we visited with her. Even the care home are in shock at her passing. We can only hope that the Coroner can find out what the problem was. My Mum was in the care home after a fall at home in August, when the ambulance took her into hospital I could not go with her because of this awful Covid 19. All I was allowed was a quick hug and a kiss, since then she has either been in hospital or the care home and we have not been allowed to touch her. What I wouldn't give just to give her one final hug right now.
Please all stay safe and well
Sue

Life acn be so cruel. I am so sorry for your loss. The two cards you made her are lovely and i am sure brought joy to her. Hugs Mrs A.
So very sorry to read about your Mum Sue, COVID certainly has made what are awful events to begin with even worse. But she did have your beautiful cards and flowers to tell her how much you cared.
Our youngest son has had COVID since before Christmas, he's young and usually so fit (a team GB athlete) and it's really taken it's toll on him and I would love to give him a hug.

So sorry to hear your very sad news. I'm sure your Mum loved the beautiful cards and flowers she received for her birthday. Take care - hugs xx
I was so sorry to hear about your loss from Mickey. What a terrible shock. You know that I know what it is like not to be able to give any hugs and kisses. My heart goes out to you.

Beautiful cards Sue, I know it's small comfort but it sounds like your mum was happy when you saw her last. It's a terrible time to loose a loved one at the moment, my mum passed away in her care home in September, we had seen her during her last months, like you though only through a window or in the garden and she really didn't understand what was going on.
My thoughts are with you, take care.

My heart goes out to you Sue for your loss, I know what it's like to lose a loved one, but trust me, from nursing I know that our loved ones are always the happiest just before they leave us....dad passed away on me after a feed of custard and a shave....he was happy but obviously did not want to leave me.... just like your mum, she is watching over you. xxx

Hi Sue
This is so sad and I feel so very sorry for you and your family.
Thank goodness you got to see your Mum on her special day and that she was in good spirits. It must be nice to know that she was able to enjoy your beautiful cards and flowers though.
My sincere condolences.

I am so very sorry to hear of your Mum's passing so suddenly, Sue. Even if she just passed softly in her sleep, as we all wish for ourselves, it is tragic that you have had to be separated all these months and not been able to hug and kiss her. Your cards for her are truly gorgeous! I'm happy for you that you were all able to spend a wonderful time together on her 90th and that she had such fun with her visits and flowers. Lots of hugs, Darnell
I was so saddened to read this Sue. My thoughts have been with you since I heard the news. I know exactly what you mean about one last hug...
Hope you are doing fine Sue, keep warm and sending Aussie warmth your way. xx
Just popping by to say that I'm thinking of your Sue and I hope that you're okay xx
So sorry to read this about your Mum Sue. Sending love, Di xx
