Dad Days ~ August

Sometimes when it's my "shift", 

I get kinda lonely & sad.  

I'm sitting right beside the man who

looks JUST LIKE MY DAD, but

he's nothing like my dad.  He's quiet,

he doesn't know me, and he 

angers very easily over nothing.  

It's a surreal feeling.  

I can't imagine what this is like

for my mother because it's

every single day without an 

escape like I have.  

One of those evenings in particular,

Dad and I had Face Timed with Troy.

The very next thing I knew

my handsome man walked in.

I think he knew I needed him.

Dad likes seeing Troy, too:)

Sweet kids...honestly they don't like or want

to visit the nursing home.  This is not an 

easy thing for them to comprehend.  

They are always super sweet once there though.  

Dad is clueless of course,

but Mother loves it!!!!!!!!!

This man was one of my absolute

favorites there!  I was so sad when 

they moved him to another wing.  

He was so kind.  

Many AD patients "fiddle" with things

or apparently they must see things on 

the floor or on the table and try to pick 

them up.  It's crazy.  

Sometimes I bring a long key chain

for Dad to fidget with.  

Face Time!

We never know how Dad is going 

to respond to Troy.  

You have to laugh.  Or you will cry.  

LOL!

Nova visiting!!!!!!

Sweet Tiffany & Logan before 

they left for college.....

Papa has a real smile...

deep down we know how proud

he is of Logan!

Mom and Dad's church sends him

cards each week and one of the 

pastors (Kip) visits often.

That means so much!
