I have not had a chance to update my blog so far this year as our family had an incredibly bad start to 2007.
My mother, who has been unwell for some time took a turn for the worst on New Year's Eve and ended up in intensive care.
It was the worst new year to see in, by a bedside in intensive care.
Things went from bad and worse and my mother died, aged 60, three weeks later.
I don't want to dwell on it in this short piece but it does certainly make you aware how precious life is and how much, as a mother myself, I have to make the most of my time with Georgia not let things get in the way of that precious time.
It's not always easy to balance a working life and home life but I am certain, the time I spend with my daughter will always be precious.
