Sometimes all you need is a hug

There are sometimes in life when you just need your mum, and today has been one of those days. I'm very lucky in that my mum retired last summer which means she is able to come and see me fairly readily. She also doesn't live too far away which is also handy.  So when yesterday I called her and asked if she would be able to come to see me to provide some much needed company and tlc, I was very relieved when she said yes.  Today she has been here since late morning, and has made tea, toast, soup, put clean sheets on the bed for me (once she has coerced me out of it) did some washing and possibly most importantly gave me cuddles when I needed them. She sat at the end of my bed talking to me and keeping me company for the best part of the day. In short she has been an absolute angel. And I love her for it. Thank you Mum xx
