So Sad

We have had a very sad time over the last week.  My wonderful Mother-in-law died last week after a short illness.

Although she had reached the grand old age of 88, she still lived on her own in the house she loved and we thought she had plenty of years left in her.  It felt like a cruel blow to have her taken away from us so suddenly.

We have received so many wonderful messages of sympathy from family and friends, it's wonderful to see how well loved she was.

She did so much for us to make our lives easier and I hope that, although we might not have always shown how much we appreciated her, she knew that we were grateful.

My husband is an only child so Grace and Eve are her only grandchildren.  They were her whole world and meant so much to her.  They will miss her so much.

Simply the best.
