1. The story begins

It is 12 mths since this story begins, no that is not quite right. It is closer to 33 years since my father died on January 10th 1979 and from then onwards I have been chief carer and support to my mother. It has not been an easy road. I do believe that Dads main reason for relocating to Australia was because he realised his health was failing and that I would do the better job as carer in any case it was and is probably still thought of as the daughters job.But I'm sure Dad never expected me to be doing it 30 plus years later.
