My goal is to kind of purge my brain a bit of this unusual life changing experience. Not to say I regret any choices I have made, I just want to pass on my knowledge to anyone going through the same issues with taking care of parents or loved ones with dementia/alzhiemers. Through my family, I realize how special this time really is. With that said, I wish everyone well and hopefully I can help someone too.

dad & angelina
The other day- around noonish dad came out to have lunch looking kinda slim in the drawyers you could say. So i checked his padding and he didnt have his depends on. So I asked him politely, "Before I start making lunch, would you go and put your depends on, i think youll feel better!" Close to 5 minutes later he comes out with his depends on the outside of his pants, can't get mad at that he did exactly what I said to!
I love days like that.
Last weekend Angelina came over and was watching cartoons with my dad, I guess this stuck with her all week because a few days later she asked me, "Whats deedaw doing?" I told her he was watching tv, she asked "is he watching cartoons?"
About a couple of weeks before that, we had her over and she told Ron and I that she wanted us to buy her a baby dolphin so that she could swim with it at her new house. At her new house she was excited because she was watching her favorite cartoon, I was talking on the phone with her and Amber over her shoulder, "tell nana that we have cable now!" so she tells me, then I ask her Angelina do you know what cable is? She said no. Then she calls me later to tell me all her shows she can watch but she called it Dora cable, sponge bob cable, etc.
