I have not held your hand or kissed your cheek since March. In my 62 years this is the longest time I have not felt comforted by your hugs. This virus has robbed us of precious time together. At 93 every second is precious. I expect you have forgotten me a little now which hurts me so much. Whilst the cafe home has kept you safe it is strangers who are allowed to be with you. Not me. I am devastated that I cannot be with you mum. Is this the first Christmas ever that I cannot be with you
