Some of you know that my mum had been fighting leukemia since last summer. She got the all clear on her birthday, the 29th of November,and the whole family had an amazing Christmas and New Year, unfortunately in mid January she was told her Leukemia had came back and she fought it until 2 weeks ago when she was told that there was nothing that could be done anymore and that she only had a few weeks left. The family including myself was devistated but she told us not to be sad and she literally spent her last 2 weeks organising everything for her own funeral and saying goodbye to friends and family. My Mum Joan Nisbet passed away last night, Monday the 11th of March 2013. Myself, my dad and my cousin were with her up until the end. She went off peacefully in her sleep and as far as I'm concerned she beat her leukemia as it was not that which killed her. Had it been the leukemia she would have been in pain.
My mum always encouraged my hobbies as though she saw them as expensive she viewed them positively as in her words 'He could be spending his money on worse things'. My mum always let me use her PayPal account for ebay or any online transactions and I used to give her the cash (I thought) but I know that she used to pay a large chunk of it and tell me I'd already paid her!
She was the greatest woman I have ever met, she was a workaholic, she was a manager of a doctor's surgery and her colleagues loved her. Her friends and family always held a special place in her heart and believe me she was the greatest mum in the world, she always inspired me to do well, supported and encouraged me to use my mind before jumping into situations. She got the loft done up just for me so I could put my collections out on show, but before she did that she used to let me set my dioramas up on two huge wooden tables which we had in the garage in the living room or up in my room.
My mum is responsible for a large part of my collection and I will always remember the pieces she suprised me with! At King and Country events my mum used to drive me down and walk around the show room with me without a complaint. She really enjoyed seeing and speaking with the K&C UK gang and even asked Andy to sign my staghound armoured car box at a Londown Show a few years ago.
Thanks for reading lads!
