It is heartfelt, I think you are an inspiration and I aspire to be more like you.

About 10 years ago my life started falling apart, to the extent that I thought I was going to lose my home and the farm, so my business also. Then my Mum (94yrs old) was diagnosed with dementia, I lost my dad 16yrs ago (and he was my hero). Mum is still with us, living in her own home, because that is were she wants to be, but she cannot do anything at all for herself. We, my sister Ann and I, have a carer come in twice a day, most days for 2hrs visits, just to help out, but between us we do everything else. At that point I found I just didn't have time for anything else, except Mum and Ann, and work (the farm). No time = loss of friends (my fault, not theirs) and an even more insular life. My memory is depleting daily, don't know if that is stress, dementia or the fact that I now drink a bit, just to cope (again, my own fault). I have to write everything down, otherwise, it won't happen. I have trouble remembering people's names, let alone anything else.

So to see you, on here, with all your consideration for others, with everything else going on in your life, truly is an inspiration to me.

I cannot promise to be the best of friends on here or in the game, but that is not intentional, my life is in a bit of a spin! as is yours, but I feel you cope a lot better than I do, which is brilliant. Hence you are an inspiration to me.

I love the fact that I made your day, and that has made my day. Thank you for making the time to make me, an inconsequential person, happy along the way.
