Wow, all of this! I am a carer too, and could write an essay of a response, except it's gone past midnight, and I have to sleep so I can get my profoundly disabled daughter out of bed in the morning, fed, washed, dressed, medicated, and I'm tired already just thinking about it. But it's OK, I do it for love... which of course I do. I love the bloody bones of her. But it's still hard, and who cares, anyway? Only the carer. Me. Thanks for writing this. 💕

You do need that sleep then Ali. It’s a thousand times harder without the zzzz. X
