Mums

[niccipops]

Hug and appreciate your Mum every chance you can. On Tuesday at work I got a message that my 73-year-old, non-smoker ever, non-drinker ever, healthy vegetable eating and exercising Mum, suffered a major heart attack.
The 2 and a half hour drive from my workplace in the bush to John Flynn hospital, was a horrible time, thinking I might not see her again.
My family is extremely lucky. After code-blueing, and stent surgery, the little trooper survived.
Mum's not into footy but out of family loyalty she owns and wears a Sea Eagle jersey, even to the shops with her posh friends at times.
She's coming home today. My turn to look after her for a while now.
Go Mum!
Hug your Mums!
Go Manly!

Great news Niccipops for your Mum, you and your family. Wish her a full & speedy recovery

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

All the best for you & your mum...
Yes, hug your mum's - I would if I could

 

[HappilyManly]

@niccipops I'm off to hug mine today
Same fitness and healthy lifestyle lady till a series of mini strokes stopped her even walking

Wishing your family all the very best

Hey Nicci, all the very best to your Mum, for a strong and healthy recovery.

I love my Mumma more than words can express and am seeing her later today. We are going to the game on Sunday, she has not been to Brookie Oval for a very long time, years and years in fact. So I cant wait to share that time with her.

Hug your mums often and tell her you love her always.....!!

Mum's are way cool.

Good to hear yours is on the mend Nicci.

Had a scare a couple of years back with mine and it makes you more grateful they're still around...and sorry you were a jerk for a fair chunk of time in your teens/20s. Sorry mum...

All the best mate. The Guernsey she sometimes wears makes her one tough lady.

Very good post by you @niccipops in what is a tuff time. Wish you and your mum the best.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Glad to hear your mum is OK nicci and hoping that continues. Take good care of yourselves.

All the best nicci and mum, and thanks for sharing even though it's tough news.

I find it a novel scenario where people I've not yet had the pleasure to meet in person, such as yourself and Ryan, nevertheless feel familiar and the fact you share deeply personal news here makes this much more than merely a footy opinion site.

I send you well wishes and positive thoughts, I know you're far away but that's only in kilometres.

Sorry to hear that Nicci - that drive must have been a nightmare. Glad to hear she's ok. Sending hugs xx

Hoping for a speedy recovery for your mum niccipops

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Nice ending @niccipops , agree 100% enjoy them while you can, tell them you love them dearly, hug them often, spend time with them because when they are gone you can never do that again.

PS: my Mum passed away in 2005, miss her every day!

 

[Pablo]

Glad your mum's ok! All the best for her recovery.

 

[Karin]

What a stressful time for you and your family. I wish your mum a speedy, healthy recovery.

 

[niccipops]

Thanks from the heart to all those who replied to this thread. Sincere condolences to those who have sadly lost their Mums.
We've got ours home and we're not giving her back.

 

[ALinda]

I'm so glad for you @niccipops that luck was on your mum's side and she's recovering well
All the best for her continued improvement.

Sadly my mum passed away 6 years ago, but I send a big hug to your mum

From my experience, I say appreciate the time you have with your mum and treasure every moment....life's too short!
