Going to see my dad

I’m going to visit my dad today since I won’t see him on Christmas. He has dementia and is in a care facility. Tonight he won’t remember that I was there.
It’s breaking my heart to watch him crumble away right in front of me. He was a violent father but mostly paid no attention to me. But he was wonderful with my son, so I love him for that. I don’t think he deserves the suffering he’s enduring now.
So I’m going to go see him, and I hope it makes him happy for a little while.
This life, huh?

I’m sorry. I had to watch my dad go through that for a while, when the cancer spread to his brain. It is really tough to see someone you love lose themselves. I bet you will make him happy while you’re there. That matters.

Thank you, @Ninjastar. :heart:️I’m sorry about your dad. I already did this with my mom too when she had lung cancer that also spread to her brain. But my dad was the one who had to be the strongest through that. As soon as my mom passed he started to lose his mind…
I say to God, “Really?! Both of them?” And I don’t understand it.
Thank you for your kind words. :heartbeat:
