#903 Carlton Always Loved

Carlton

My standout memory is marrying my second wife. My first wife died of kidney problems.

Our wedding day was wonderful really wonderful and then we went to Jamaica for a honeymoon . Montego Bay. It was a very very big wedding.

And now my second wife she’s got dementia and she’s in a nursing home at the moment . I get to see her three times a week . At first she was in a distant care home and then she fell and was three months in hospital and then they moved her nearer to where I am. So she can’t walk now . She can’t talk, walk or nothing, that’s why she’s in a nursing home.

My first wife was ill for 15 years. Which was hard My second wife is ill, but I had a wonderful 25 years before she took ill.
