The Mummy Diaries

[samantha nixon]

Has anyone been watching The mummy diaries? its on channel 4 and its about families who are living with cancer, and the mothers have some sort of cancer and its about how the children cope. Ive watched the 3 episodes that have been on so far and it has made me cry every week, So I was wondering who else has been watching it?

I watched last night's episode. I was crying all way through. Its really hard to comprehend a parent dying whilst you're still a child/teenager.

One of the mothers was on The Wright Show last Wednesday, the one who goes to Germany for treatment. There was also a mother who's husband had collapsed at home and died suddenly leaving three young girls and a wife. Listening to their stories was so humbling.

Yeah on Dawn's blog I read that she had been on the wright show.

The week before's ep was really sad as seeing a little 6 year old curl up in a ball crying about her mum dying that set me of lol

Here is Dawn's website http://www.wigstowishes.org.uk/ here last blog was the 15th though, and she set it up as she wants to tell other people about it and stuff, the blog about vanessa is quite sad, I knew that she had died, but for her to want to live to see the transmission of her episode on tv, but she died early hours last thursday and her show was on thursday night
