"It's okay, you can let go, Aunty Lorraine and Dee will look after me. Love you."It's 11am in the palliative care ward and I'm by Mum's bed. It's the 20th of February 2016. Mum has now fallen into a coma and the final hours are upon us. While Mum can't respond, she can still hear. Well, I dearly hope so. I leave and take the train to the city. While walking out of Flinders Street Station the call arrives. Yes, that call. The call I've anticipated for the last few years of Mum's long life and the reason why my phone is always on. Yes, Mum has passed away. After taking some time to compose myself, I call Aunty Lorraine. She meets me at Mitcham station and we make our way to the hospital to say our last farewells and figure out what happens now..." -- back cover.
