John I don't know how I missed this - so sorry to hear your news when it all looked so positive last week. Her age and the circumstances right now might make it easier to explain but its never easy to understand. I suppose you can at least take comfort that you had her in your life for so long - not everyone has that and all the memories.
Very sad news for you John. 95 is a great age, but a real shame this c*nt of a virus stopped her reaching 100.

Mum died yesterday after a very courageous battle with the virus in her care home. I really thought she’d beaten it after a couple of weeks of really nothing more than being tired and a tight chest, but then the damn thing decided to get serious and she went downhill last week, we had a lift mid week when a nurse gave her an injection to clear her ragged breathing but it was short lived, by Friday night it was just a matter of time. She simply ran out of strength to fight it anymore.
95 is a hell of an age and I truly think she’d have easily made 100 but it wasn’t to be. At least she was calm the last two days. Its so surreal not being there, I’d hoped that when the day came I’d be there as I was with dad to see them go, such a cruel disease in so many respects. There’ll be no normal funeral, in fact due to my AF issues returning I’m not even going to the crematorium just to be silly safe as it really is one in one out there conveyor belt, it’s too risky. Not saying goodbye properly is truly heartbreaking, but at least she had a long life so I have to think of the positives.
Stay safe guys and gals...this damn thing is no joke. Best to you all and hopefully good health and a return to hooning in our Zeds ASAP.
Sorry to hear this,John.
Our thoughts are with you.
