November 10th will be 3 years to the day since I took the letters ,life and love stories to parliament
January will be the 4th anniversary of starting a campaign as a son from my bedroom whilst caring for my mum
It has been the most amazing journey full of struggles,Joy,hopes ,dreams and meeting the most incredible people, some I have cried with some I have smiled with and so many will be my friends forever
All through this journey, the greatest joy was my mum and the greatest heartbreak was dementia taking its toll on mum and me by her side
The lonliness we faced was only a rehearsal for how lonely I feel now without mum by my side
No matter what mum faced a squeeze of my hand ,a smile from mums eyes got me through the days when I felt so lost and Helpless and I miss my mum so
I have tried every day to keep the promise I made to mum to the people who shared thier love stories to the incredible people I have been so privileged to meet to bring more understanding on dementia and caring
Now it's time for reflection,maybe it's time to stop I have given hundreds of talks been to so many meetings ,so many highs and so many lows
My tour this year finishes December 16th after which I will have to take a long hard think about life and what to do next
Did it matter ,I hope so ,it certainly mattered to me
Thank you for the support ,kindness ,friendship,thank you for helping with my broken heart
Thank you for caring
Thank you from a son
Tommy
