I understand where you are coming from.

I'm so glad she came to your wedding. I doubt that it was your wedding that killed her, I rather think that it was waiting to attend your wedding that kept her going.

it's been two years since my brother died from stage 4 internal malignant metatastic melanomas and in so many ways, it still doesn't feel real.

I'm so glad your mother had all she loved with her when she died. It's a comfort on all sides - hers and yours. I'm glad she could still make a joke. James was the same, even after he lost the power of speech.

I'll reiterate: I'm so glad she came to your wedding, gave her speech and made you laugh and cry. You'll never forget her and you'll never forget her passing - and when you do want to really talk, I'm around.

It won't have been your wedding. You knew this was coming and you did everything in your power to support her and comfort her. I'm so glad she was at your wedding.

Thinking of you.
