(((((Bebop & Dad & Family))))),

I know how difficult it is to go through this as I like Paddy went through it 5 years ago with my Mother. The one thing you can be is very proud of your Dad that he isn't in denial & that he's open to the reality of his condition. I know how difficult it is to know ahead what the final outcome will be (in God's own time), but I struggles knowing in my heart & mind what was going on with my Mother but having to play her denial game with her until the end. I wish I could have shared the whole reality of life with her, but I'm guessing that she really wasn't a strong enough person to handle the reality of her situation even though she indicated to her pastor that she was, she just never talked about anything of any consequence when she was around me...it was like a huge hole was left there. Definitely something I wouldn't do to my daughter. It is so wonderful that you are able to have the quality time with your Dad & be able to share feelings together......something you will always value & never regret.

Many gentle hugs & prayers for God to provide His strength for you & your family & your father.
