Day Two

Its the 2nd day and l don't think the reality of it has sunk in yet, We heard today that my uncle wasn' with her when she died because he was "depressed". A woman of 84 lives her whole life to die without her family around her. If we had known where she was we would have been their in a flash.

The last time l spoke to her she said she was going to knit my four year old daughter some baby clothes for her doll because she hasn't seen her in so long she felt bad because she wasn't at their birthday party in July. At the bottom of this page is a video of her at my mums birthday party two years ago.She was always at the centre of everything. It will never be possible to fill the whole that she has left.

When my 16 year old son was two he called her "Nanny whitehead" we thought she would be so offended but she loved it and has been known as nanny whitehead ever since by all the grandchildren.
