    I've just got in from another nightshift at her bedside . She's been at death's door since Tuesday afternoon , but doesn't appear willing to give up with out a fight . However , the inevitable will arise , there's no turning back now . It's only a matter of time . I don't think I've ever been so emotionally drained for a long time . She's had a 24 hour family vigil since Tuesday and it'll remain so until the end . I didn't even know how Barnsley had got on until about 6 o'clock yesterday morning . In fact , to be honest , I'd forgotten all about the game . Football , for me anyway , has suddenly lost all importance .
    Can I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their goodwill messages and cards . They have meant a lot to me and have given a great deal of comfort .
    Sorry for this maudling ramble .
    Anyway , with a bit of luck , Barnsley could possibly turn the Play Off on it's head on Monday night with a resounding win .

    I'm sorry to hear that Kev I've been their myself and nothing anyone can say can make the situation any better. When the time is right, grab yourself a copy of the match, because despite what happened on the pitch, the glory days returned to Oakwell in the stands and it might just bring a little smile to your face.  </p>

    Hiya Stevie

    It might just be old age and insanity on my part ( feel free to argue at any point ! ) , but I've simply lost track of time . Crystal had to point out it was cup final day !!

    Thanks Tina

    It's just so exhausting , both physically and emotionally . I feel as if I could sleep for weeks , but I simply daren't close my eyes , as I may be called back to the hospital any second . I've been substituted by one of my sisters , for the time being , but I'll be going back shortly . Crystal is also exhausted . She's laid down on the settee and has the German Shepherd cuddling up to her .
    Thanks for your comments , love

    Nothing much to say in such circumstance - I can feel for what you are going through as my own mum died 4 years ago.

    Been there and I know that its the time when we realise we are not as tough as we would like to think (even though we are Doderth'ers). Me and the wife are thinking of you and yours...........

    Once again my thoughts are with you and your family. My other half's gran had a stroke, and was in hospital for a few weeks before we finally lost her. Not much more I can say, apart from stay strong and you will get through it.
