Dear Petra & Viviana: I have clicked 'like' on these videos though that's the wrong word. I have been deeply moved by them. I lost both parents to cancer while they were relatively young (60 and 64). The love expressed in these videos reminds me of their relationships with each other, and with us. It makes me weepy, but it is always inspiring to see such love. Thank you for creating and posting them, and though the updates are sad, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your praise. I hope it is helpful for everyone in your family. I am so sorry for your father. I hope he soon sees it is better for himself and your mother if he also has help. We carers seem to feel forever guilty in this thankless situation. I wish you strength, lots of it. Where are you writing from? Be well, Viviana
Viviana...Just to say thank you for making this film and sharing it. I too feel it is throughly deserving of broadcast.
My father cares for my mother who is in the advanced stages of dementia. She also has Parkinson's. He's pretty good at the "Florence Nightingale" bit but hopeless as a "warrior". My wife and I take on that role. And then have to persuade him to take up the help that's available, which is at least as difficult. Sigh.

Just watched this again, Maria and Lonnie are my Mum and Dad. To look back at this now evokes a lot of emotion, my Dad is now in a care home not able to walk or do anything for himself anymore. Mum put him in a home after caring for him for 11 years, unfortunately she was forced to after she was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. She too is in a nursing home. Thank you for the memories.

@vvvvvvdubshacktv Dear Petra, I am so sorry to hear this news about Maria. She is an absolute tower of strength. How ironic that she now is also in such a difficult state. Please give her my love and remind her that this film was possible in no small part thanks to her. Can one visit her? Would she want that? Take care and if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Viviana
@vvvvvvdubshacktv Dear Petra, I called the nursing home yesterday to ask about visiting time. I will try and go today. Is there anything I can bring or do? Would it be ok with you if I went today? do let me know. I will do what is best for her and for you so please feel free and I will not be offended by whatever you say. Viviana
I am not a carer, but my grandmother and my aunt were both victims of Alzheimer's so I am aware of the impact it has. My mother always feared that she would get it too (she used to say we should shoot her if she ever got like that!), but as it turned out she was spared Alzheimer's only to die of cancer.
Has your film been on television? If not I think it should be.
@TheOnlineVideo Hello Mike, this film has not been broadcast on television and I also think it should. I would like to get it on air but I am now at a loss as to how! It is my copyright and also it was made in the correct format. I am so sorry to hear about your mother's fate, how ironic.
Best wishes and thank you so much for your support,
I am truly delighted that you found it so good. I really feel carers are the unsung heroes in all this and the more one can share one's experience and that of others to help them along the way, so much the better. Thank you so much for your comments.
A fabulous documentary about a very important, often neglected subject. Very well done Viviana and thank you for sharing your own story as well as showing others.
