I have a tip for you, When you talk to your Dad, Hold his hand and look him in the eye when you speak to him. This always seemed to work to calm my Dad down. My experience with him was that if you just spoke to him he couldn't identify the source, But if I held his hand and looked him in the eye he would recognize me and he would start asking me how my family was doing.

I will keep you in my prayers my friend and if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask. Alzhiemer's is a heart wrenching experience for the survivors and my best advice is to focus on conforting your Dad, even if he doesn't realize who you are.

God Bless You,

Mike

Thank you, I will do that..

It's odd, I have worked with Alzhiemers patients for nearly 23 years, but when it comes to him, all that training seems to fly out the window, it is so different when it happens to one of your own..

I remember one patient put it so eloquently, he said.."I feel like I am in a movie and I don't have the script."

Thanks so very much for your kindness, Mike..I am grateful
