My mum was very unwell with T2 and COPD. I am 2 hours away which seems a long way when they're ill but my sister lives in France so I get the distance problem too. She was only 72 when she died in the very first few thousand of covid. Being separated from the people we love hurts.Keep talking to your dad as much as you can. He's obviously very down at the moment and losing his sister had a huge impact on him too. 95 is an amazing age - as is 90!! I'm not surprised he says he's had enough. He is exhausted and unwell and probably feels he's a burden too. Worth chasing the GP or diabetic team who might be able to help with the pain he's in. Hopefully you'll be able to keep him increasingly positive. Do they get a telegram at 100 in Spain?</blockquote>
