Rosie ... I am so, so sorry to read that your brother's partner and one of their four sons no longer visit him.

Whilst it may be understandable in the sense that the nature of his illness has caused normal verbal communication between them to be difficult - if not impossible - it doesn't make their parting of the ways any easier ... or any the less sad.

Oh ... how I wish the stringent Immigration Rules could be relaxed in some way in order to cater for circumstances that would allow your three other nephews to visit their father ... it seems especially unfair that they can't.

Hopefully ALL who've read your brother's story will take heed of the moral it contains ... and I thank God he has a deeply devoted sister like your goodself.
