If you have the time tonight, please add my father to your prayers. He will turn 78 on Valentines Day and is suffering from dementia. It's getting hard to watch and he is slipping a little more every day. He can no longer keep track of time, takes an hour to tell a 5 minute story, cannot drive and doesn't remember most things. At this point he is a 78 year old child. Not an easy thing for the family and prayers would be appreciated.
I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Thanks guys, I'm hoping he will see and be somewhat coherent at 80 but I just don't know. Every day it seems much worse. The word Alzheimer's has not been used yet by the doctor but I wonder. It is progressing very fast. My mother is beside herself and doesn't know how to cope but she is somehow. I know it will take my father, I just pray he doesn't become violent. This is nothing I wish on anyone. To see a father reduced to only an existence.
I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

It was a long couple of year's while that affliction ran it's course. It heartbreaking and a feeling of helplessness when you realize there is absolutely nothing you can do save your parent. You and your father are in my prayers. w
