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.

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.

You got it...


Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

Both my grandma's have it now. One hasn't recognized me in over 3 years and the other thought I was my grandpa that passed away in November when I visited her last. She says she doesn't know who she is and my mom is heart broken that her mom doesn't know who she is. It is an unbelievably sad and helpless situation. I will pray for you.

Dementia combined with a stroke claimed my dad in 2015.

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.

Will do. Dementia is a terriable thing.
