The dreaded disease - can you guess what it is?
Watch this postI’ve written a little non Infectious riddle
The dreaded disease
There’s a disease going round, but you can’t be infected
And no matter how you try, you can’t be protected
It’s not a Corona or a Corvid 19
It can’t be detected and it can’t be seen
It’s nasty and horrible and creeps up on you
You can’t catch it and bin it within a tissue
There’s over 400 forms and it’s world wide
No one calls it a pandemic or a national disaster
But to those living with it’s a true mind blaster
If we could only stop it by washing our hands
Our loved ones might still be here, DO YOU UNDERSTAND.
CAN YOU TELL WHAT IT IS YET ?
I lost my wife a while ago, she is in a world only she knows. I am not afraid of Coronavirus, in fact for her it could be a blessed release.

My mum and two of her sisters developed dementia and I was involved in their care. It was worse than nursing my sister, and subsequently my husband, through cancer. The saddest bit was the occasional moments when a much loved person looked at me and there was understanding of what a dreadful fate had overtaken them. Then it was gone, and they were alone in their own world again.
I have every respect for you as you look after your wife. God bless.
