Goodnight Charles R.I.P.

Tweet

You may remember my posting about an elderly neighbour Charles, who lives across the road from my Mom. His son Andrew has always lived at home and for the last how ever many years was his carer. You may also remember that Andrew’s sister Jackie was going to move in with her Autistic son James. However before she could move in Jackie sadly died. A few weeks ago Jackie’s husband Keith, who was living in a care home sadly died too. Well, I am very sad to let you know that Charles died last week. He was well into his 90’s and suffering greatly with dementia. He has not left the house in a couple of years and was in bed for the last several months. Mom and Charles ( and families ) had been neighbours since 1975. A very sad day. My thoughts are with Andrew who is 65 himself, so no spring chicken and in the past 7 months has lost his sister, brother in law and Father and had his Autistic nephew living with him. ( James does not leave the bedroom at all ). It is a lot to have to deal with. Sometimes life is hard …….
