“Fate had dedicated that love’s path would not run smoothly. Katie kept a secret from her husband and can they survive this? She had a lump in her breast. She was terrified it was cancer; her mum had died of it. A month later she got so sick she collapsed and had to be hospitalized. Tests revealed she had inoperable cancer. Surgery was no use nor was chemotherapy or radiography”. (Katie)

“She investigated her options and booked herself into a hospice for the end of her life; she will protect her family to the very end. She organized her funeral, wrote her will and wrote an electronic manual on DVD and letter saying goodbye to her kids and husband. She wrote an encyclopedic survival manual for Ronan on running the house and on rearing the kids. For months she took her camcorder with her giving graphic illustrations on how to use household appliances and showed him the locations of dentists, doctors, hospitals, chemists, schools, library, playgrounds etc. The background music on the DVD was the two popular songs I Love You Always and Forever and Honey”.
