My dad, Peter, was diagnosed with early dementia approx 5 years ago and is now starting the later stages of Alzheimers at the age of 72.  My mum is currently looking after my dad 24/7 since the end of February whist in Cyprus, on what is most likely dad's last trip to his happy place - a much longer trip than anticipated due to Covid-19 travel restrictions! It would not be possible for them to have travelled these past few years without my brother, as he escorts them, comes back after a few days then goes back out to collect them to make sure everything goes smoothly.  When they are back in Guernsey (hopefully soon!), mum will be relying on the services that organisations like Guernsey Alzheimers Association offer, to keep dad with her at home for as long as possible.  As well as the support from family and friends too.

Dementia affects so many families - it is a cruel disease.  Cherish every moment x
