I love my family dearly, so much that it hurts. The past few weeks have caused it much anxiety.
My little dad, he's been poorly for sometime.
Having fallen off scaffolding whilst putting the finishing touches to an extension he built on our family home, he has had brain injury effects since.
His short term memory was severly scuppered and his emotions all over the place.
But since that dreadful day some 15 or more years back he is now having to deal with the ever debilitating condition of vascular dementia... What more can the world throw at a man who's brain and mind was the fundamental to his being?!

Actually I say it's my dad having to deal, but in fact it's my mum too...she is a rock and a trooper, dealing with much and everything since the fall.
I am currently giving my mum much needed space, both need to be in control and me being there doesn't help. My dad was hospitalised for assessment some 3 weeks ago... It's crunch time for us all and lots of questions being asked... Sadly decisions over whether he could go home are being made... I pray a solution to him being able to go home is found... That's where he is most at rest, but it has to be a solution that works for my mum too... You know this will be the hardest hurdle she has had to tackle yet and she needs to make that jump herself.. We will be the other side waiting.
