Helpless Useless Sorry Mum

Helplessness When Mum is sick What as the child must I do This is the wrong way round Its normally her with chicken soup And a warm run bath and thick blanket And a cuddle for medicine Mum would know what to do But sadly I don't The foot is on the other shoe And I don't know what to do If only I could love you better I would

aww Christopher this moved me to tears all we can do is try our best to help and any mother would appreciate that and a tin of chicken soup is just as good if cooking isn't your thing. we just have to adapt to what we can do and a cuddle and running a bath is simple:-) hugs jan xx

Hope she gets better soon Christopher - my hubby had his cancer surgery at Arrowe Park in 2013 so I spent a little time on the Wirral and in Liverpool:-)If it hadn't been for his cancer surgery I would never have picked up my pen:-) hugs Jan xx

Cheers Jan Ta She is on the couch stressed out sick as a dog because she doesn't get sick and is 1 of those who won't go the doctor even though she works in Aintree Hospital . Told her to go to the Doctor 1st thing tomorrow morning.
