I went to a carol concert at Mum's NH today. It was lovely - there were handbell ringers - 2 different types. We sang lots of carols. Mum tried to join in. A young lad played God Rest Ye merry Gentlemen on the violin. Mum loved this but it made her tearful. This started me off. I don't think Mum realises it is Christmas. I wished her a Happy Christmas as I will not visit again til Boxing Day (My sister is going on Christmas Eve.), and she just said Cheerio. And then it hit me. Might be her last Christmas. I got in the car and sobbed my heart out. And I am still tearful now.
