Josie don't ever doubt what a great Mum you are, all your kids are living good lives so that is testament to their up bringing . they aren't murders or druggies etc.
I know i always wanted to see the family more than they visited but i had to except they were adults with their own lives and they just didn't understand how horrific this journey was for both me and Daryl (husband)
but one thing i do know when i almost died from the chemo after my 2nd one , all six kids came up to albury with partners, three of mine three or Daryls and their partners and to see their faces when they saw me bald, hooked up to machines, very very sick and doped to the hilt on morphine it frightend the B jesus out of them , my sons were devistated.
but now four years down the track i ring them and sms them and email them and every now and then i get a shock as they reply. ha ha ,
it's is such a awful time for you being in hospital and it is so lonely and frightening. maybe hubby or some one should have a little word to tell them mum needs a i love you sms . mine did it alot. hang in and take care .. xx Fran
