So Sad

How sad that people get Parkinson's. My husband is now in frail care facility 120 km from me after 45 years of marriage. He misses me terribly and I cry so often.

I wanted to bring him back home but I can not look after him and caretakers are so expensive. He can not walk anymore, and is permanent on nappies. Sometimes I can barely hear what he says. He struggles to hold the knive and fork although I got him something to put around the cutlery to make the grip better.

I can only see him on weekends as I am still working in the week. This is not nice
