Update on cancer

GrannyJo, the final chapter of your life is being written now and it occurs to me that it is but one chapter of a most beautiful life, a life full of light and love. You are an inspiration to many of us on this forum, a woman of wisdom and grace. Thank you for sharing your situation with us and may you find this last leg of the journey easy and peaceful. Via con Dios.
 

I am bedridden now and am reliant on oxygenn day and night. I know I don't really have much longer, but because of that , my son and I have had the most honest discussions about our life as mother and son.

We have shed some tears over errors and misunderstandings we've had and have grown closer together now we understand why those things happened.

Our love for each other is apparent to everyone who now sees our interactions. We even still have time for some laughs together
 
Sending love and peaceful thoughts your way @grannyjo. Bless you and your son...hugs. ❤️

Hi
This is Grannyjo's son, Craig. Mum's real name was Robyn. Mum loved her dogs and Jo was the first two letters of her last dog "Jorje"'s name. She kept her iPad logged in to this forum so perhaps she wanted me to let her online friends know when she was gone. She passed away a little over a week ago on Saturday 27 March 2021 at 3.50pm with me, my wife and our two adult children by her bedside.

She could communicate with us right up to the last half hour of her life. I told her about the passing of my father-in-law two years earlier and how my wife and I had walked through the national park next to our home shortly after his passing and we had been harassed by a butterfly that stayed near us for what seemed like 45 minutes.

Today we were working in the front yard garden trimming a hedge and a beautiful black and white butterfly flew and zipped near us for what my wife described as "all morning" and after we were finished we went for a swim in the back yard and that same butterfly danced and landed on foliage near us beside the pool. Taking off and landing for more than 10 minutes until a visitor arrived at the front door and I left the pool.

I went back later but the butterfly was gone.

Good bye Mum, I love you and you'll be missed.
 
So sad to hear your news. Sincerest condolences to you and your family. I never got to know your mum but I'm sure she will be missed by many friends here.
