((((lmo))))) just wanted to let you know i've been reading this thread. sorry for not replying sooner. but, you've been in my thoughts the whole time. some things that you wrote reminded me of when i helped my mom and grandma take care of my grandpa before he passed away from alzhiemer's disease over 4 years ago. like not being able to understand what we're saying, especially. i understand what it's like with your dad. take care of yourself (and your babe).
