Pops' Birthday and Nana Dot Passed Away!

Well today was Pops' 65th birthday and Nana Dot passed away!  So our intended dinner for Pops went out the window, Nana and Pops shot off to Te Awamutu and Lilli, Daddy, and I are staying up here for a couple of days and then going down because we have our moving truck booked for 8 tomorrow morning!

Mum had a phone call from Brian this morning to say that Nana Dot had been rushed to Waikato Hospital with a suspected heart attack.  He said he would call as soon as he had more information for us.  He rang again a bit later and said that the doctors had confirmed she had had a heart attack but they also said that we were not to rush down there as it was not a major and they would be keeping her in for a couple of days and then sending her home.  So Mum left her phone on charge at home and went round to our place for me to finish a bit of cleaning while Lilli and I stayed at her place. 

She'd only been gone about 15 minutes and her mobile went.  When I picked up Brian said to me not to rush down there but Nana Dot had had another one and only had minutes left.  We lost her.  She had another heart attack - a big one - and she died.  I put Lilli in the car and zoomed around to our place to tell Mum and it was just heartbreaking.  Poor Lilli knew that something terrible had happened, she just didn't really get what.  I guess all she really understood was that Mummy and Nana were crying and crying.

So we will move tomorrow and try and get Lilli as settled as possible before heading down to Honey and Brian's place for the funeral.  :(

RIP Nana Dot
Gone but never forgotten
