Former Wales international Lenny Woodard revealed his son inadvertently found out his father had dementia after overhearing his parents’ conversation.
The rugby player said his nine-year-old son was listening to a conversation he was having with his wife in the other room. Woodard is concerned he may not be able to recognise his children as soon as in five years time just 12 months after his heartbreaking diagnosis.
“Myself and my partner were talking in the next room, my kids were playing in the room,” Woodward told the BBC. “My partner was explaining, ‘I want the kids to see you as much as possible, as often as possible and do as many memorable things as possible because there’s a chance in 10 years, 15 years time, you’re not even going to know who they are.’
