Think back on your most memorable road trip.

While visiting mum at hospitals over the last few years of her life . Seeing the scenery as we drove to visit was one of the more pleasant sides of the journey. Had a calming effect.

From driving past Stonehenge. To seeing the wide open space of country side.

Hot air balloons 🎈  landing fields.

The sky in alls it’s glory at different times of the day. Sometimes after visiting we would see some of the local sites I would take photo’s so next time I visited i could share them with mum, so she had something other than hospital wards to look at. It made her more determined to get out of there and home as soon as

possible.

Sometimes after her long stays in hospital we would bring her home to our town so we could support her more till she was able to mobilise enough to go home safely.

We get to spend more precious moments with her and make memories with the children.

The worse time was after my mums first hip op she stayed for a while we got her walking maybe only ver short distance but enough to be able to go home to her own home.

We was about half way home of a three hour journey and we got a call to say she had another full and broken her other hip. That’s was one of the most sad days.

Did we take her home to soon, could it have been prevented, or was it beyond our control. But really it was a case of her disability equipment catching the edge of the sofa and the walking frame tipped over and  she fell. Its very different being in an open house with clear space to move around with equipment to a smaller home .

Sometimes your always left with the what it’s.

Much  love Faye
