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.

I was thinking Annalisa might offer Mr and Mrs Dowling some couples therapy at mate’s rate, as things don’t seem to be going that well since the boys left home (22 March).

Congratulations! Another edition of Feast without meat in any of the recipes. At least Grace Dent got to eat some pork (21 March).

So pleased I never joined this Labour party, as I won’t have to cancel my membership over the spring statement’s welfare cuts (.
