I miss my dad so much. Until a year ago my father had been living with us. Unfortunately due a fall on broken pavement he cracked his skull and became delirious. We eventually got dad into a care home in the town where we live. He was coming home to ours four times a week, spending all day Sunday with me and the family. Since lockdown, he obviously has not been able to go out, which I know he misses. At first we were able to visit the care home, now I can’t see him at all.
