It’s my little ma’s 75th birthday today. The first two videos in this little reel were filmed just a few days before she was rushed into hospital. You would never have been able to tell what was coming from this.
We nearly lost her.
I was alone when the doctor took me into a room and said that I should bring my dad and any other family members back to the hospital, to say their goodbyes. Nothing prepares you for that and I still feel a little haunted by it now.
But I’m not one to ruminate - she’s here and she’s thriving and that’s all that matters. She’s been given a second chance at life and I know that she is going to come back even stronger than before. Especially with her new fancy pants aorta. 🫀 Who knew there was an emoji for an aorta? 😂
Happy 75th birthday, Mum! This was a bit of an extreme way to ensure you spent it with me, but I’ll take it. 😂
Love you ❤️❤️🩹
