My Mam Shiela has been in a care home for 6 years. Thank God, that she is totally unaware of what is going on now. My sadness is for my Dad he is 90 years old still at home. He is a wonderful man, a joy to his family and stoic in every way. However he has not been seen his wife, my Mam in the flesh since March 17th, 7 long long months. Until then, he visited her every single day to settle her into bed at night. It breaks our hearts, to see what a brave face he puts on for us. The is cruel!
