Thank you so much, Caroline Anne. Always appreciate your feedback. Being able to extend life but not necessarily quality of life is such a huge challenge for us. We were fortunate to have lovely carers where Mum lived. And she didn't have to go though covid and lockdown. I wish those staff were way more valued and supported than seems to be the case. They have such a precious role.
This is a beautiful piece, Beth, and took me right back to the times visiting my great-grandmother in the nursing home where she was only expected to spend a few weeks/months. She ended up, with brain in tact, living, bedridden, for the next eight long years. I could visualise you and your mother so well. It spoke of and showed your history with her and of the heartache you went through in this anguished situation. Loved it.
Such a beautiful, moving piece Beth. That final hug - that look of fierce determination on your mother's face. Moved me to tears. Thank you.

Thank you so much Mira. There is such a world in each of us. I’m so glad this piece is still being listened to and her courage is being seen.
