“When it comes to my husband’s health, I have to be very honest, it has not been easy. In the early years when it first started, we had not realised that it had started. We were like, ‘why is he behaving like this. What is happening to you?” but when the deterioration became rapid, you did not want to see me at that time. I always used to cry my eyes out.
“But the thing is this, when he was there, he was an incredible father to his children and an amazing husband, he was practically my best friend.
“The husband I knew is no longer there for me, but this man that is here is someone I still love.”
