My Mum

Sacha Melville, Milton keynes, 6th January 2021

Me and my sister sadly lost our amazing mum on 06/01/2021 and that was the day our world was lost forever. That moment saying goodbye will never be erased from our memory. Losing her was so quick how this awful disease took her away from us and her grandson. She now has a beautiful granddaughter that she never got to meet.We feel these song lyrics fit how we feel."I didn't know today would be our last Or that I'd have to say goodbye to you so fast I'm so numb, I can't feel anymore Prayin' you'd just walk back through that door And tell me that I was only dreamin' You're not really gone as long as I believe There will be another angel Around the throne tonight Your love lives on inside of me And I will hold on tight It's not my place to question Only God knows why I'm just jealous of the angels Around the throne tonight You always made my troubles feel so small And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall In a world where heroes come and go Well God just took the only one I know So I'll hold you as close as I can Longing for the day, when I see your face again But until then"Our mum was sadly hit with the awful virus the day after Christmas 2020. She genuinely thought this could have been the flu as she had experienced the flu several times in her life. She had taken a test on the 3rd January 2021 as her symptoms were getting worse. A day later she had not been answering her phone, so my sister had gone round with some flu remedies and by this point our mum was not moving but had her eyes open and kept looking at my sister. My sister had called an ambulance which had taken over an hour to appear and they took her to hospital explaining to my sister that she was really poorly. (I had just had COVID so it was on my final day of isolating) . The whole evening we couldn't stop but worry letting the family know where she was. The following day after 1000 calls we got a call to say that she had been doing really well through the night, which they had thought she was not going to make it. With a sigh of relief we were so happy to hear this. 4 Hours later we got that phone call to say that she was not going to make it. The hospital refused us to go and say goodbye but after a numerous of amount of phone calls from our Uncle who lives in Scotland telling them that she is the only parent we have they finally gave in and said we would need to cover up in PPE. After being at the hospital 20 mins later she was gone.22 hours in hospital and she was gone. Our hearts will never be the same again. We miss her more and more each day.
