The feeling of freedom, the fresh air, seeing people walking by in clothes and not dressing gowns. So so wonderful. We stopped at the services and I put my hands up to feel the rain. Home and friends were so important. Life was important. Treasure it.marfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756421892776825853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-26405271918419228312014-06-02T15:59:08.616+01:002014-06-02T15:59:08.616+01:00I started to read it - then stopped - now have rea...I started to read it - then stopped - now have read it all the way through - memories tumbling in as I remember much about my life with #Dani - we were close a mother and daughter bond - the long stays in hospital and the joy of getting out for both her and I. She spoke a lot of the loss of freedom being tied to a hospital on and off since she was not yet five - until her end. Unless you spend that time in hospital you have no comprehension of what you lose, not just privacy, but self-determination as you are treated as less than a child; so when you get out of that sterile atmosphere, out of the waiting room and back to life, it is the most amazing thing. Hospitals are the most unreal places any human ever inhabits.<br /><br />I think this is why the death she had was a good death, in the sunlight out in the world with an audience - her body gave her what she wanted. In her end life treated her well. She was a feisty, funny, life loving young woman, and she recognised that her downs were balanced by amazing highs, and she loved so many people, and she cared about so many others. Much to celebrate in my remembering my beautiful daughter.Helga Warzechahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150922019515988040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-6679550426572004552014-06-02T11:23:57.198+01:002014-06-02T11:23:57.198+01:00Thanks so much Sue for a really moving and touchin...Thanks so much Sue for a really moving and touching post, think there is something in this that most of us can identify with. Going through a very bad patch at present with my own health, pain and ATOS/DWP looming in background. On top of that a major, serious situation has arisen in my son's family and my 2 Grandchildren are at risk and that's from one parent and other dangerous people, 1 child has already been taken from her home and dragged from everything she knows, to another part of the country. As a Mum, a doting Grandma and having lost my adored Mum when I was 13, can't fathom the nastiness, cruelty, selfishness and madness that this disabled Mother can do to her children. At least my son is very bright, clever (even though disagree with him on many things&some of his behaviour)) and though disabled himself, has great mental ability with the law and other factors, so he has already today, managed to get a judge to look at the case, so fingers crossed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-72346366505061570342014-06-02T09:42:48.217+01:002014-06-02T09:42:48.217+01:00We should all enjoy every delight that comes our w...We should all enjoy every delight that comes our way, but we don't until tragedy strikes, out of the blue.

As a now disabled mum of a disabled 30something son, who was born with serious health issues, I have described our family life as a tapestry in progress. It contains some dark murky colours and some really brilliant colours but no pastels.

And the changing nature of the light through the days & seasons as it sneaks into our house. All beautifully rich.
