Upside down

Unfortunately there are few glimmers of brightness, clarity and light now for my father and he has no realisation of the trauma and times that my mother has pulled through from being on the verge of death several times.  Today my brother and I took her to see him in the care home.  Their eyes lit up as they met together but before long the confusion set in and like the bowl in the extra the bright lights of their previous stimulating conversations were hidden.  As has happened with very many others their world has been turned upside down with no chance of living together again.
