Mum is getting weaker but her mind is improving. A few days ago she was touched by the angel of death and her pain and fear and her feeling of illness were clear. I called for help and she just fell back with her eyes open.
The telephone operator said “death calls but once and he is always a surprise, no one escapes. Wait until morning to get a death certificate as rigor mortise has to set in by law before one can be issued”.
The paramedics arrived without due hurry and went to her bed. Then she suddenly said “I feel better now” And talked normally.
The lady technician with the medic was a beautiful young woman and the paramedic said to her “His wife is R***** S****” The technician said “That’s my mothers name” oh I said “You’re my daughter, you look like my wife” and so I kissed her. She kissed mum and said “I’ve met my Dad and grandmother”.
Then the two emergency workers left in the night. I think my daughter rang my wife to tell her.
Chris.
