His heartbroken daughter.

My Dad is in a Nursing Home. When my Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s we promised him ( my Mother and I ) would never abandon him. We last saw him on his 80th birthday on 16th August. Before that it was in March. At the garden visit, my Dad would not keep his distance from us and kept taking his mask off. He didn’t know or understand the rules for the Covid-19. It was heartbreaking! He is going to die from Alzheimer’s. We should be able to visit him in his room. He thinks we’ve abandoned him
