Hi everyone,
Its been a very upsetting day today for my Dad, my Mam & Dads 50th Wedding Anniversary today & my poor Mams illness is progressing daily. It should have been a time of celebration with all the family gathered, instead it's a miserable wet, windy day & my poor Dad left with his memories of happier times... sigh Rang him earlier & what could I say ? He visited Mam yesterday ( my Mam is in long term care), could not bring himself to visit today & when I spoke to him earlier there were gaps in our conversation when words were not enough. I've been to work today but my lovely Mam has been in my thoughts all day, 50yrs ago my Dad & her were looking forward to a long & happy life together, that was taken away 10yrs ago when my Mam developed AD. Now thats all we can do is sit & watch while Mam wastes away, unable to swallow and fading more & more each day...
