Uphill Struggle

Today has been a real struggle for my Mum. The nausea is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, despite taking the anti sickness medication.

She's insistent that Mr E and I go to Scotland, as our last trip had to be cancelled. I'm not happy about leaving her, so I really don't know what to do.

Her argument is, that she'll need me more, as things get progressively worse. We are only at the beginning of this dreadful journey and I'm not sure that this otherwise incredibly strong lady, has the strength to get through it. I'm not sure I can either to be honest! I feel so helpless :(

This puzzle magazine has been my only distraction today.
