The Soft Toy & The Armchair

This soft toy holds a lot of memories for me as it belonged to my Mum before she died. In the last ten years of her life she suffered from vascular dementia but two of her favourite things were her soft toy and her pink armchair which sat in the sunny conservatory of the house. She loved the soft fur of the pig/bear and the way the sun streamed in through the windows of the conservatory. Alhtough vascular dementia is a terrible disease the one thing we were grateful for was that she never forgot who we were and that, even during the bad times, she could still smile and laugh.
