Missing Mum

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was about to have surgery, well on Wednesday the 17th it was done. In my mind, I thought that I would recover much more quickly than I did. Even today I feel really washed out and tired. Might have something to do with doing the edges on my lawn. (Don't worry Mum, I didn't mow the lawn as well).

There have been many people who have been supportive during my recovery, and I am thankful to them all. From my craft groups, church home group, to friends - everyone has been wonderful. But I would like to say a super special thanks to my Mum!!!

My Mum is a very busy lady. She works full time, maintains her home, and has an active social life. I was so incredibly blessed that she came down the day before my surgery. That's in itself is a mission - as I am over 6 hours away by car.

Mum did so much for me; like taking me to and from the hospital, driving me around to places like the Doctors and pharmacy, doing the grocery shopping (several times), all the cooking and cleaning, making cups of tea, and bringing me glasses of water, making sure I had my medicine, helping me walk, helping me out of the chair, and heaps more.

My Mum left on Friday, and at 40 I'm not ashamed to say that I really miss my Mum. I don't miss her because of what she did for me, which by the way I HUGELY appreciated. I don't really want to admit this - but I really wasn't capable of looking after myself. I miss my Mum's company, I miss being close to her, and my life is a little bit empty when she isn't around. I love my Mum :)
