    Being a care giver is a very inspiring, selfless and hard role for anyone. Please do ensure you all look after your own health and wellbeing, do not under estimate the physical and emotional toll the caring role can have on you and your loved ones, and please do find some support of those in a similar position to yourselves. You are all amazing people. ❤️
