A heartfelt thank-you is extended to the staff at Royal Oak Village for everything they did in taking such good care of Thomas. Their kindness and compassionate care is greatly appreciated.

My heart’s in the highlands, my heart is not here: My heart’s in the highlands a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe. My heart’s in the highlands, wherever I go. Farewell to the highlands, farewell to the North. The birth-place of valour, the country of worth; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands forever I love!
