Mum gets a 'cautious embrace' from Andrew as lockdown eases

Andrew Edwards

Available for over a year

Mum's never been one for hugs, except from and for the grandchildren. However, visiting on the day the lockdown restrictions ease, Andrew gives her a 'cautious embrace'. He talks of his relief that she's made it through the last 14 months without contracting Covid-19. He also shows her photos of his daughter, her first grandchild, who turns 21 this week. Although she doesn't say anything, Mum's face lights up. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was first broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
