Mum's not getting any better but she's not getting any worse either, which is a good thing according to the doctor. I suppose he's right if she's not getting better at least she's not getting worse. I wouldn't be able to stand it if she got so bad that...*sigh* she - she wasn't here any more.

Me and my mum have always been close. My dad left mum as soon as he knew she was having me and left her. Poor mum. She couldn't cope on her own. So I've never met my dad, and I wouldn't recognise him even if I passed him in Tescos! To be honest I don't think I'd like my dad because he abandoned mum when she needed him most. Great parent and companion my dad is. Huh! So mum raised me on her own and did a very good job of it too. Who needs a man! Because we always spent so much time together we became not just mother and daughter but best friends. No one can replace my mum, ever. So losing her will be like losing a part of me.

Every night, before I go to sleep, I wish and I pray for mum to get better:
"Starlight ,
Starbright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
To have this wish I wish tonight."

And every night my wish is the same: for mum to get better so that I will never be alone.

Ever.
