Mum did this way before her time. In fact way before anyone was talking about their #dying #funeral wishes. We had many conversations when she was fit and well. She left notes down to the music she wanted. It makes such a difference when the time comes 💔 #grieving #TimeToTalk

Just collected my Mums belongings. She died a week today. I didn’t want to bring a black sack. She would not have liked that BUT she would have laughed. I found one big enough it was ok. Her bags where packed in these and it felt like #bereavementcare 💔
Thank you @IrishHospice

Me: Do you have tests coming up?
1st yr Boy: Eh I don’t know.
Me: Do you think you should know?
Boy: Yeah fair but Mum don’t worry. Because I’m actually really good at exams. I mean, not the results but I’m great at not getting stressed.
Me: 🤔 huh?

Done ✔️ with lots that could have been improved on. The third attempt to hit submit at 11-59pm still showed an incomplete field. I thought all was lost flew the digits in and hit one more time. Up pops Congratulations and it was 12-00am. Yay 🙌 regardless of the outcome #Didit

[Tara Smith @tarasmith50]

An application due at midnight. Only 4hrs left but if I don’t get to hit submit at least we have a meet the #team video 🐶 🤣
