Parkinson’s has robbed my Dad of many things. He shuffles when he walks and sometimes loses his balance so he has to be watched carefully when he moves. His arms don’t always do what he tells them. He looks smaller than he used to. He’s fragile. …
Perhaps I’ve played the proud Aunt once or twice before, and mentioned that my eldest nephew, Josh, is training on the Canadian Olympic bobsled team.
