Story

A big Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm dedicating this walk in memory of my mum in law, she was a very active woman.

I'm going to dress up as a funky fairy and want to stand out of the crowd, just so my mum in law can see me! (to give her the last laugh!)

She was the most christian woman, who got on with everyone and was very fair, and kind.

Believe it or not we never hit it off during the start of our relationship, but after I had my boys, she looked out for me, cared for me, taught me all sorts of things to be a perfect, organised housewife like herself. She wasn't a dragon, not a Mother but a Mum to me.

She suffered for a while with a manner of things, she was so brave during the summer of 2013. St.Giles looked after Sheila for the last few weeks of her life, she even had a jucuzzi, and joined a christmas fayre that was there. Even a little white horse came into her room.

She had so many people visit her, with gifts, cards and flowers. She was trying hard to be cheery like she had always been, I was with her the last day, still to talk to her and to say "thanks for being a mum to me."
