I haven't seen you other than in a photo since March. You do not understand or respond to technology as you are in late stage dementia. You do not understand why I have not been to see you, and you may not know me when I'm with you, but I miss you, love you and want to tell you so in person whilst giving you a hug and being there to hold your hand and resaaure you. Close family need to see their loved ones in care homes.
