My parents have gone home, and I'm now cleaning up a bit. It's actually been quite an exhausting weekend. Mum needs much more help than I realised. Just visiting once a week, I hadn't realised how much she relies on my Dad. She does a good job of covering up her symptoms, but over a weekend it's clear that the two of them are only just keeping it together.
I take my hat off to any full-time carers (like my Dad). It's amazing what love can get you through isn't it?
Anyway, back to normal again now, and I'm going to try to appreciate my body and mind while I still have both, whatever their imperfections.
I might even have a nap later, hmmmm that does sound nice
