My father and sister had PD; now I have had it for 20 years. I am now 81. My wife is my carer; she is 64. Today, 11 Nov, I am going into a care home for 2 weeks' respite. And giving her a break has kept our marriage vows (sickness and health, better or worse, she is an angel). Though I have not always been right, I still love her dearly after 57 years
