BUT SHE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SO SAD

:-( :-( :-(

I wonder how he knew where to find his grandmother.....

When our daughter was in hospital there was a lady two beds down that never had visitors . Think she would feel awkward with the conversations going on around her with the other patients visitors that she would get up and go out to a patients lounge.

Daughter said she didn't have any close family living in the area .

I felt for her so one day as she got up to leave i said don't go come and join us she protested a bit but we pulled up a chair and said come on

Well the conversation that went on was hilarious. We even had to be told to be a bit quieter because we were laughing so much ,

She told our daughter after we had gone that it was the best time she had had in years .

Two days later our daughter was discharged and although she did write to the lady she didn't get any reply . We often talk about her and wondered what happened to her

this is so sad
but families just don't live close no more
but 5 miles in this case isn't fa


r I bet when she dies they all come running :-( :-(

you're so right Joy - where there's a will there's a relative as they say!!!

it'll come back to bite them on the bum one day when they are old themselves

Joy, sad as it may be, its surprising what comes out of the woodwork in cases like that :-( :-(
