John Crace’s mention of his late mother, Rosemary, carrying the Guardian around her care home moved me to tears (Digested week, 21 March). My husband, Michael, is in the later stages of Alzheimer’s. He still gets pleasure from turning the pages of the Guardian, looking at the pictures and reading the occasional word. Thank you for keeping him in this world for a little longer.

• If I may add my take to your article on grudges (G2, 26 March): when we forgive, we do so from a position of strength. When we bear a grudge, we are victims of the situation.
