Or any parent who can " be a parent" for me and my family.
Mum died in February. Dad has dementia. They were both so very proud of the grandkids. Well not only did eldest get 87% in her MA dissertation but she has had a paper accepted for a conference next year and I can't tell my mum and dad ;(. Well I can tell dad and he'll say " that's lovely news" because he still has good frontal lobes , but you know he doesn't know who she is if she's not there, and he's no concept of how good her work is.
I expect I'll get used to it , but ....sniff.....even up till a couple of weeks before she died mum was so boosted by hearing of dds PhD funding success - she was so poorly but she even told her consultant about it !
