Dip for dementia 💜

In memory of my Papa 🤍

In June, we lost my Papa, the kindest, most gentle man you could ever meet.

My papa was someone who never complained. He was just quietly there, always kind, always caring and always making sure the people around him were okay. He loved his family so much, and we loved him even more.

Watching someone you love live with dementia is incredibly difficult. It can slowly take away memories, independence and parts of the person you have always known, but it can never take away the love you have for them or the memories you have made together.

My papa meant so much to all of us, and although losing him has left a huge hole in our family, we wanted to do something in his memory.

Taking part in the DIP is our way of raising awareness and raising money to support people living with dementia and the families who are affected by it.

I hope that by doing this, something positive can come from something that has been incredibly difficult for our family.

This one is for you, Papa.🤍

We miss you more than words can say. ❤️
