Looking away from the golf course towards the village of Braemar in the distance. Taken on Saturday.
Today will be our first visit to dad at the care home. He will be inside, we will be outside. I've tried to explain to him how it will be, but he still thinks we can go out for lunch in Tarland. It's not going to be an easy first visit, but hopefully future visits will be better.
Not easy in any circumstances but especially with restrictions - at least things are now moving in the right direction and hopefully he’ll get his coffee before too long. Beautiful place you live and walk!
I hope the visit goes as nicely as this shot looks! It really is very difficult for the elderly when that physical contact is removed. I hope that facility will eventually allow you all to visit in the same space- even if it's outdoors on the grounds.
I hope that you found your dad fairly settled. This is so difficult for all involved! I remember the guilt I felt leaving my mother after a visit early on.
Sending oodles of love your way today and hope the visit goes as well as it can.
Hope you are able to enjoy some aspects of the visit, and feel better for having seen him.
So hard for you hopefully it will get easier as we open up.
Hoping your visit goes well!
