I WOULD like to say to Barbara Pointon that the recent documentary - Malcolm and Barbara: Love's Farewell - was extremely moving.
She was brave to let the cameras into her and Malcolm's lives for what was a very important subject.
I work with people who have dementia and see at first-hand how hard carers work.
The Government should make more money available for people who care for Alzheimer's sufferer's to make life that little bit more easy.
It is a hard and demanding job to look after a loved one in this way and more needs to be done.
I applaud Barbara and her family for allowing us to see her incredible journey with Malcolm.
