Hello my Camino family, many may remember my other thread titled "Sad". Well mother's battle against cancer had ended up being very short. We didn't even reach the point of treatment. I was hoping that as she was getting treatment I wouldn't be able to do the camino as I would have been caring for her. But very, very sadly the cancer was got much bigger very quickly... The only this positive I take from this is that on the day of her death she had been sedated for 2 days before and had just slept... But the day of her death I noticed her breathing getting slow so I sat next to the bed held her hand, she opened her eye and looked right at me, I kissed her head and said "You know we all love you" and she stopped breathing.... Now as an only child, what better way for your best friend to leave this world... and another sad thing is as this was going on my Father has been in hospital and is still there, he knows but I keep thinking that has he truly taken in what has happened.... And today I get the date for her cremation... I almost fell to the floor, it on her birthday 14th June... I plan to walk my camino as planned in September, it was my mother last wish...and I'm going ahead with it.... I just want my camino family when they see me to walk up to me, say nothing and hug me... With this heavy trouble on my shoulder as I walk and reflect on this year I need as many hugs as I can get... Thank you, thank you all xxx Good night mum xxx
