Sylvia and George's story: "Having open conversations has helped us to cope”

Dementia UK

description

George: Sylvia and I met at a Christmas party. It was love at first sight and we’ve been happily married for 56 years. We don’t expect each other to be perfect, and when the chips are down, we face it together. Sylvia: I once asked my Mum, “Is there such a thing as love?” I knew the answer when I met George. After our first date, I knew I wanted to marry him. He has always been a strong, honourable man who treated me as his equal. We went on to have two children, Loraine and Lisa – we’ve always been the A-team.
