DAD
Thank you so much everyone especially Diva. My dad is the strongest man I have ever known , so if there is anyway to pull through he will. He truly is unstoppable. He has alzhiemers and he is 78. He was diagonosed 3 years ago and my older sister moved him in with her. Until feb. He wandered off at 2am in PA. with 4 ft of snow on the ground and 12 degrees outside. The police found him about a mile from my sisters crawling in his hands and knees in his underwear. No coat nothing, just his cane . The police and doctors think he'd been crawling for about 2-3 hours. He had a little frostbite on his knees , and some bruises but other than that he was fine and making jokes with the nurses. But we had to put him in a nursing home to keep him safe. He loves it there. He calls it head quarters, hahahah Sad thing is he thinks he works there. Alzhiemers , it's a cruel fate that he doesn't deserve. He was the best dad with a strong work ethic, and the most kindest , easy going man you could meet. And now I think his health is failing, but I will embrace this and I know I'm blessed if he makes it and blessed if he doesn't . Either way I trust the outcome will be in everyones best interest. I know alot of people have crappy families but I am very very lucky. My family is awesome and we are very close. It makes things easier when you pull together and are there for each other.
Thanks for all my friends here on the planet and anyone who had a kind word of support for my family. This is a wonderful place and I'm glad I get to be a part of it.
