Dad Days ~ August 2017

Oh Dad.  I love you.
These are difficult days.
Bringing my kids in and praying you
don't say anything you shouldn't
and that you might possibly for even just
a second remember this little girl 
that sometimes I thought could take 
my place because you loved her so much❤  
Feeding you, loving you,
holding your hand. 
Entertaining, loving and laughing 
with all the other patients....
Waiting until the staff put you to bed
and making sure you were sound asleep.
Praying that you'd stay asleep until morning
when Mother would get there.  
Thanking the Lord for any slight
smile or glimpse of the dad you were❤
I asked you to sign an anniversary card
for Mother.  You still had your 
same handwriting❤❤❤
These words = Truth❤

Dad Days - July

When this all started, I thought there's 
no HOPE.  I just couldn't find anything 
good in Alzheimer's Disease.  
There's no getting better - it's a downward
slope - no matter what.
There's no cure.  There's no treatment.  
There's no end of time frame, so it even seems
the hope of Heaven after the suffering
is so unknown.  But then, then
you realize that although there might not
be hope, there is purpose.  
Maybe it was for my mom, sisters
and I to fall in love with the other patients
suffering.  Maybe it was to give them
a smile, a laugh, some meaning.  
Perhaps it was God teaching ME.  
Wanda, Joy, Bobbie, Jerry, Rosie (mija),
Mrs. Jasek...we love them all.  
Mother's 79th Birthday was coming and 
I wanted Dad to have a card for her.  
I had to tell him what to put but yet
he basically had his same handwriting.
This.Awful.Disease.  
Breaks my heart.  Over and Over.  
He was clueless, but deep down, he's not❤
His hands❤
Our "Beautiful Mom & Sisters"
text group is our LIFE LINE!
Without the constant communication and
LAUGHTER, I don't know what we'd do!!!;)
Poor Dad :(
I could not have written the following
more perfectly.  I get every single
thing this person is saying.
It's such truth!!!!............
I love you, Dad.  ❤
