Each day Rob Burrow sits in his living room, in the armchair where his wife Lindsey has lifted him after getting him up and dressed, staring at the television.
Since Monday though, there has been a new addition for his eyes to rest upon, with the sparkle of a precious memory to relive - his Pride of Britain award.
That's if his daughters Maya, eight, and Macy, 11, haven't snatched it and made off with it to school or Brownies for show and tell, as they've done three times already this week.
The Burrow household is still buzzing from Sunday night.
Former rugby league star Rob, 41, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, and his wife and carer Lindsey, 40, were presented with the Special Recognition award at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards with TSB.
Their friend and Rob's former Leeds Rhinos team-mate Kevin Sinfield, 43, was a co-recipient but was unable to attend the ceremony, shown tonight on ITV. He is coaching the England rugby union World Cup team in France.
The presentation was one of the most powerful moments of the night, prompting an impassioned standing ovation from the audience.
It was in recognition thetrio's raising of more than £13million, and the courage of MBE scrum-half Rob and Lindsey, a NHS physio who refuses carers for her husband.
Lindsey explains: "To be recognised while Rob is still with us is really special. You cannot take those memories away."
