30-36 Losing A Parent

Mum died when i was 31,and my daughter was 18 months.She had lung disease.We knew eventually she would die from the disease but they could`nt put a time scale on it.I am glad she did`nt suffer to long.She was only diagnosed the year before and was still working untill a few months before her death.She caught an infection about 3 weeks before her death and had to be moved around in a wheel chair.She then caught a second infection which she could`nt fight. I was`nt with her when she died,i was quite glad about that.It took a long while to forget how she sounded when she breathed. She was very chirpy till the second infection,she was a fighter!She was only little though (4ft.10) but a very tough lady,very strong willed and opiniated  a very strong character who ALWAYS spoke her mind. She was fabulous though.Sometimes i find myself standing a certain way or doing something,and i think "oh no i`m turning into my mother!!!"
