On Thanksgiving Day my dad was not able to attend any of our family functions. We thought long and hard about how we could take him out of his home and let him go with my mom for Thanksgiving. We decided this was not a good idea. At his stage of Alzheimer's, you just don't do stuff like that anymore. It's so sad.During the next couple of weeks we will visit with my dad and bring him little goodies and gifts but come Christmas day he will not be with any of us. We all have to travel to northern Arizona for a couple of days to be with the rest of our family and we won't be able to take my dad. We talk about it, but I really don't think it would be a good idea. I think he would freak out if we removed him for that long.
This is the sad part about Alzheimer's and the holidays. What do you do?
