My dad is still hanging in there. I thought his Alzheimer's would keep progressing rapidly but it seems to have a plateau at this time.My mom and I were talking the other day about my dad and how he has worked so hard his whole life. He had an identity and he had a purpose in life. He worked hard toward his goals and he completed them.
Alzheimer's is a cruel disease. What does he do now but just lay there and wait for someone to take care of him? He is helpless. It's so sad. What is the purpose?
Makes me feel like there is so much more I can do with my life to make it productive and meaningful. What is my purpose? I hope it never stops!
Thanks again for every one's support.

Those are my thoughts exactly! My husband and I have been married 47 years.... he's 71 years old. He's such a kind, gentle, strong, brilliant and wonderful man......and watching him ever so slowly decline is heartbreaking....
I hate Alzheimer's so much!
My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I have been there with my husband's dad. I watched this man who taught me so much about life to becoming a child and dependent on me. My purpose was to try and give him as much as a meaningful life as possible. You are in my prayers. Marie
