Exhausted

Been sitting with mum all day. Reading to her, holding her hand, stroking her hair.
I'm no good at this caring thing, it all seems such a struggle for me and is especially obvious when the staff and carers come in and are so natural at it.

She's generally been calm thankfully. Whenever she's been upset or stressing out and fractious I've just started reading to her again and it seems to have soothed her again.
My brother is there with her now. I hope she feels soothed with him as much as me.

This pic is of Arthur's Seat and the rooftops from the quiet seating area room along the corridor.

I'm off to bed, am exhausted. Apologies or not commenting on anybody's blips at the moment.
Just too busy and too tired to even contemplate it.
