I know this is not car related and if not suitable mods can remove .
yesterday has been one of the worse days and happy days in my life .
my mum has lung cancer and we were lead to believe she had a few month's left .
yesterday we were told she has only weeks maybe days and she wants to go home to die if possible as she is now in hospital . we have arranged 24 hr care for her at home my wife is taking time of work and my sister is flying in from Darwin to help as well .mum might be home even just for a couple of days and if it gets too hard for us and her she will go to a palliative care ward
so that was the bitter news .

now the sweet news is my daughter gave birth last night to our first grand son a healthy boy they have named Charlie . he was my mums goal for staying alive as she wanted to see her first surviving great grand child as my daughter lost one at 5 months in feb last yrs so at the moment im torn between sadness for my mum but delighted for my daughter and boyfriend .

the last 24 hrs has put life into perspective and is teaching me not to stress over the little things and how important family is .
so in ending my advice to all is be nice to your mum and dad as you only get one of each my dad died young 21 yrs ago . and don't stress over the little things as its not worth the energy .
anyway cheers all and I hope you all have a great day im just of to meet my grand son :-).
cheers dean
