Man, this was indeed a double whammy. It was both sad and funny (no offence meant).
I have never seen anyone with dementia in real life, but I can relate with the hurtful experience of living with them. If they get wind of how forgetful they are becoming, it usually scares them so much. Some of them would even prefer to not associate with anyone.
For your Dad, what a man he was! My Dad also loves to organise big occasions and buy stuff for friends and families while having a good laugh, but he doesn't have the money to do any of that. His birthday was two days ago (Sunday). I'm sure he would have loved to have a blastful Celebration, but things are very hard over here. Hehe.
Glad to read from you.
Thanks for sharing this on DreemPort.
Thanks for your kind words. I always try to write with a bit of humour in my posts, and even though this was quite a sombre post, I am glad you found parts of it funny!
Yes it is not fun, and the worst is when they realise they are becoming forgetful and it is getting serious.
hehe the old man well yeah he loved his parties! Happy belated birthday to your Dad and I hope things pick up over there, the whole world is going through tough times.
Many thanks for popping in and commenting:)
