I stay in Mum’s room when I go to spend time with my Dad. It’s a small room in a small house, a new build retirement place. Like the rest of the house, it’s cluttered in that way that down-sized old peoples houses are often cluttered. a crowded jumble of miss-matched furniture, pictures and nic-naks.
I can hear Dad grumbling around with his Zimmer frame as I line this shot up and take it.
As usual when I stay here, I slept badly but I know he will have slept much worse so I will have to be the cheery one today. I’m consciously putting my game face on as I get dressed.
I like the contrast of the nakedness and the old furniture and mementos here
“Hi Dad! Lovely sunny day today. Where shall we go in the car? Roast lamb to look forward to this evening!”
Right I can do this Hell, the poor guy deserves it. His situation is horrible just now and it’s getting him down.

Hugs to you. It’s hard when that role reversal kicks in and the child starts to take on a parental role. It’s great to see that you are able to take a little – ahem- cheeky moment for yourself 🙂
It’s such a tough ride right now but you’ve got this.
It’s just as important for you to take these naughty and fun moments for yourself as it is to put your game face on and support your dad.
I hope someone is supporting you too.
<3 Much love, Bib <3 Xxx
Hugs to you B1, such a tough time for you all. I love the picture though, it feels like one that has so many possible stories because of the little details

Best wishes from here … I sympathise completely.
One of those things that life brings isn’t it. One’s parents provide, protect and point the way for years and years … and then it’s our turn to do the same.
I love mirror photos by-the-way … and yours is cheeky and fun !!!

You’ve got this. And you’ve got us if you need someone to lean on. Great picture – it gives me thoughts.
