Whether she did or not I'm sure it will raise a smile from you in time as I expect it will be sort of thing she would have said about you when you were younger. I hope it will have been a comfort to her to know you were all there with her. I'm sure my dad knew I was there with him in his last days - I too would sit in his room holding his hand and talking to him even though he wasn't really conscious but if I asked him to squeeze my hand he would respond. Sadly my mum couldn't hear me when her turn came as she was profoundly deaf but I like to think she also knew I was there.

Yes, I think so too. It is the sort of thing my mum would say about me to my children to raise a smile.

As some of you know, we were told 3 weeks ago that she had only a couple of days left to live.

She is in a very weakened state and drifting in and out of sleep a lot of the
time. Today DDs1 and 3 came with me. We sat in Mum's room for an hour quietly chatting to her (when she was awake) and among ourselves when she wasn't. I gave her a drink a few times. When it was obvious that she needed us to go I left the room first and I heard her say to my DDs 'She's a cheeky madam, that one, always was!'

Now, did she know it was me or did she think it was someone else? confusedgrin
