One woman standing on either side of a tall man. The lady on the right is his mum. She's wearing a red jumper with an elf on it. The lady on the other side is his sister. She's wearing a red and white Christmas dress. The man is wearing a black superdry hoodie. They are all smiling.

I was so happy to see brother today. I'm enjoying all the hugs he gives us while he can. He will eventually become more apathetic as his illness progresses #bvftd #dementia
