My mam

22/10/2020

Lockdown has been a total nightmare. My mam is in a care home. She’s has Alzheimer’s and is 92 years old. I haven’t seen her properly since mid February. I have had a few 1/2 hour visits but these have stopped now as well. Of course no touching, hugs or hand holding was allowed. I feel totally robbed of the precious time I have left with her. I can’t see an end to this and am very worried that I will never see her properly again.
