Sad week

[1941mary]

So this week we had the funeral of my Uncle Frank who passed from PSP . He was diagnosed 4 years ago or there abouts . For those of you who have read my posts you will also be aware my mum has PSP . She was diagnosed 2 years ago now.

Mum is one of nine children .. now down to eight and is third youngest . All mums brothers and sisters are iof good health but although all research and what specialist say is there is no genetic link and it’s purely coincidental ... seems strange to me!

So it was a tough day for everyone on Tuesday especially for mum...

We will keep going and making every day a special one with mum.

I want to wish you all well and I think of you all often .. lots of love and prayers to you ALL..

I try to put the genetic link out of my mind but have to say that your post makes you think! I hope the day went well and that your mum coped with losing a brother from the szm wretched disease that she has been diagnosed with. I wish you and your mum well.

Love Kate xx
