My dad is in a similar place. He has Alzheimer's, and he's on puree'd foods right now, plus he's diabetic. He's still at home with my mom, she's taking care of him. I live two states away right now. It's hard to know that he's already gone mentally, but he still has to suffer and be here physically for so much longer. I honestly wish the Alzheimer's would just kill him off earlier so he didn't have to suffer so much. I hate the disease.

My daughter will probably never know her grandpa. I feel so sad for that. I always had very fond memories of my grandparents, and she will never have that.

My dad is 83, and I'm 29. Yeah, he's old!!
