Have not posted for several days. It has been a long four weeks.My dad who was 94 yrs old had Alzheimers disease and Macular degeneration. His quality of life was greatly diminished. After Christmas he developed type A flu and pneumonia. Very quickly he succumbed to pneumonia. I am grateful that my mom, one of my brothers and I were able to be by his side when he died. So very surreal. ALZ is terrible-you basically watch your parent fade away. My dad, when he died, was not the man I grew up with but he was still gentle, polite and loving to the end. And he still wanted to please my mom. They had been married for over 65 years.

Love you and miss you dad.
