Thanks @Shaz51
I had a crazy day at work on Melbourne cup day at the aged care facility (and it's a full moon!) Poor elderly folk with dementia wanting things like for me to help them file a police report because their little kids are missing, helping another woman adjust an oversized baby bonnet to fit her 'daughter' (ie. doll), a 90yo kindly but firmly being instructed to leave a room for my own safety as bad spirits wanted her 'gone', having simultaneous conversations with 2 lonely hearing-impaired spouses of residents trying to engage me in conversation simultaneously/concurrently ... and that was all before 11am 😳

Dear @Anastasia
I hope you enjoyed the visit from your Mum and Dad last night, for a pizza feast. I also hope the long awaited visit may have helped to lift your spirits a little. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you with much affection, along with everyone else here.
Much love to you.
Emelia 🤗💜💕🌺
