Thank you! right before my father lef...Elizabeth, <br /><br />Thank you! right before my father left Arizona to go back to Massachusetts and an Alzheimer's nursing home, I showed him photos of his siblings and I told him that God had given him a brilliant mind and now things were different. He cried looking at the photos and for all that was lost. <br /><br /> Like your father my father was a man who made a difference in this world. The fact of dementia and Alzheimer's creates a dark humor that in so many ways brings relief. The sadness lingers.<br /><br />Your expression is a wonderful healing process. Every time I write my world changes and becomes more focused.<br /><br />My father was the go-to person for me. He was the one person in this world who loved me unconditionaly. <br /><br />You have brought back so many memories of my father and of my aunt (his sister) who has dementia). As the irish say, "Thanks a million."MaryMacnoreply@blogger.com
