(((((Kathy & Dad)))))

Love your blog!!! You have a stressful job of caring for your dad, and it seems you do it with love, dignity and respect. He is so lucky to have you. It's obvious, he and your mom raised a wonderful child. I love how you can find the humor and share it with others...you are truly a special person!

Hugssssss

Wishes really do get granted! I came here today, looking for someone I'd find something in common with and here you are.

My mother has Alzheimer's and my father has dementia; both are currently living with me.

I look forward to exchanging thoughts with you. In the meantime I'll be reading your website.

hi, my grandpa had it too. I was one of his caregivers. I can answer almost any questions you may have. (etc, getting them to take meds, calming the person, physical health, health companies...)
