But I do have a good reason for that. We found out on Friday that Mum is in the last stages of heart failure. Her legs are swelling, and there is nothing more they can do for her. We have known for a number of years that she has heart failure, which is why she gets breathless, and can't always get a full sentence out properly. But with her legs swelling as they are, it is not a good sign. The worse thing? We don't know when her heart will stop. As hard as it has been for me, I can't help thinking about how much harder it is for Dad. They have been married for over 60 years.
Anyway, I have continued to do knitting. I find it helps to keep me from just sitting here and thinking about what will happen,and when. Mum is keeping in good spirits, and is continuing to make plans, even if she knows she may not be around to see those plans through. But, what else can she do.
