After the funeral of our mother we both tried in our own ways to carry on, life just could not stand still, we both had children and needed to function. We became even closer to each other, we kept in contact a lot via e-mail. You got yourself another job and was extremely happy they were a wonderful company and you began to enjoy life again. Your girls were growing up and going to school, our father was never a great part of our life and now he seemed to distant himself even further, we spent time together on the weekends. Life carried on as it does and the hurt of our mother passing was getting easier to cope with. During the year of 2005 you kept complaining that it was difficult sometimes when you swallowed food! you went to your GP who said it was a reflux problem and gave you pills to help. Unfortunately your situation got worse not better and you began to trawl the internet for information about you illness.
