When my dad developed signs of dementia I would go sit with him to give mom a break.
One time he wouldn’t talk to me and when mom got back he pointed at me and whispered to her “who’s that man?”
I had more emotions run through me than ever. /1

It was the only time he didn’t and I’m thankful.
I studied up on dementia and learned quite a bit. I would go over and treat him like my best friend ( he was, btw ). I would just sit and basically interview him and listen. /2

Why am I talking about this? I don’t know....
He couldn’t shave anymore and I’m the best in our family. I would put a hot towel on his face and shave him like he taught me.
It was our special thing. He couldn’t wait for me to come over. /3

I don’t know how to end this. I miss him.
There’s no easy way to lose a loved one. I watched as my dad withered away and my wife’s dad died in his sleep. It sucked as bad both ways.

I have to end on a good note.
We WILL meet again. I am unwavering in that belief.
