My 93 Y/O grandfather had dementia and lived with me. He was never religious or talked about God . One night he asked me if it was too late for " God" and seemed frightened and agitated. We prayed , bc the answer was its never too late. He was calm and had tears in His eyes. He asked about seeing his family in heaven . I ensured him he would . He passed that night peacefully in his sleep. These conversations are comforting for not only our elders but for ourselves . 🙏
Now this right here is a weird and scary. For someone that had dementia.....? How did he get to think of God not to talk of asking such delicate question. Still God is a mysterious one and am happy to hear this. God bless you!
The way Dan cares for his Dad reminds me of the 5th Commandment, "Honor your father and mother." This family is such an example of honoring your parents and a resource on how to care for a parent with dementia. Praying you guys have a blessed day. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
That is very true Dan certainly has a way with his father that is so loving and considerate. He certainly does "honor his father and his mother" - Great Job Dan!
My brother suffers from severe depression. I introduced your channel to him and love he loves Grandpa. Not much makes him happy but your channel really brings laughter and smiles. Thank you ❤❤❤
Ohhh please tell him how much Jesus loves him. How Jesus has blessed him in this life. He's a beautiful man and the thought of granddad passing without knowing the 2 choiced is terrifying. I love this man. What a Blessing you have shared with us! Times like this walk... it's like being a fly on the wall and hearing who he is when he's not concerned over keys, money... what this wise and intelligent man thinks about at the age of 91... thanks for sharing your dad. ❤🤗🙏
Yes it's like their your child & you are the parent or ofc caregiver. He's a great son, repaying his father. Honoring him like God commands on 10 commandments. . his days will be well & long on life I hope as the words promises.
You know, the dividers in this world tell us Southerners say, "Bless his heart" in a flippant and rude manner. Most Southerners who I know (and its many) actually meant we pray blessings to this man and his entire family.
I was just praying for your Dad and asking that someone would speak to him about God and then this just came up on youtube. Before we call He answers. I pray your Dad finds Jesus as His Saviour soon. With love from England 🇬🇧 ❤
This is the first thing I watch when I wake up in the mornings I just love to see grandpa. He puts a smile on my face at my darkest moments. God bless you all.
It's really hard to survive the loss of a child. Believe me I know. I survive day by day. I lost my son 2 years ago on the 30th of this month. My son had just turned 37. My heart goes out to anyone who is living with that loss.
I lost my Mom yesterday 😢 One year to the day after My Dad ❤ pray that they are back together for all eternity. She was not into religion but would say to me the Lord's prayer and remembered all the words. ❤❤❤
When Pops asks Dan how things are for him, it hits me right in the heart. He really cares and asks with so much affection and concern, crying, so beautiful. That's love.
My Dad passed away three years ago from Complications from Dementia. A day never goes by that I'm not thinking of our conversations we had together. It warms my heart to see you both having a nice walk and talking with each other. These days are cherished memories. God Bless. 🙏❤❤😊
Brings a tear to my eye to hear him always asking how everyone else is doing. He is a selfless person to his core and his family mean the world to him, that much is clear.
The way he stops and looks back and says "this is a long street" - bless his heart. That's so nice of you to take him for walks. You're such a terrific son. 💕
Many elderly become silent, not involve in any conversation... they die a slow death just because they get neglected.... But Dan is teaching the world through this media, that how can we keep the elderly active, engaged and respect them. ❤❤❤ I know it's not possible for everyone as they are busy with their life, earning, taking care of their families... But still we can do something, grandkids can help them... I lost my Dad when he was 62, if only he was looked after well he would have lived upto 90 or more...😢😢 He was very much interested to live, see grandchildren... But we lost him...😢😢 Even Mom died at the age of 50...😢 That's why I know the value of parents ❤❤❤ Now eagerly waiting to see them in the resurrection... John 5:28,29
Unfortunately even other children who wish they could care for their parents at home aren't able because they are still employed or their health is bad themselves or they have no family assistance to relieve them for short periods of times. I worked as a nsg home nurse as well as home care. As much as you love your parents sometimes it's not practical and hard to trust others to care for their loved as well as they feel guilty they arent able to care for their parents at home.Your family are blessed to be able too.Your dads a great dad.
What a special conversation about God! God says that He loves the world so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins, so the whoever believes in Him will be reunited with the Father and live with Him forever! What a most precious gift to be given! Whether to trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and to follow Him is the most important decision every human will make in their lives! Love to you, your father, and your family!!
I've only been watching this old fella for about 5 days but he's such a nice guy. Be so sad when he finally passes on but he's brought happiness and a smile to so many of us.
Every time your dad asks about a close family member who has died I think "oh no, this is going to be sad." But then he takes the news somberly, usually without getting upset and just accepts the information. Such an amazing man. But what a way to live the final years. Your dad is a very strong person but he's so lucky to have such a supportive family. It makes all the difference for his quality of life.
I wish every elderly person had your dad's support. We need to take care of our people. You guys have a unique, hopeful, and loving situation. Wishing you all the best...
This is truly an excellent model of what caregiving to the elderly should be. Dan and his wife shows the world that while life can have it's challenges especially with an elderly parent it is doable. These videos are truthful, realistic, often very funny and most of all compassionate. Continue to love and care for Grandpa Ed in the excellent way you do.
@@paulam.593 It really isn't easy. I cared for my father the last 9 years of his life and while he never suffered from dementia he was very stubborn and set in his ways. He detested bathing and would sometimes refuse to use his urinal. Threw his urine through the window and even down the kitchen sink. His mental function was evaluated twice and both times by different doctors he was found to be of sound mind. That really hit and hurt me. He lost one leg to diabetes and then 7 years later the second one was amputated. That wasn't an easy task caring for him, raising young children. There were many doctor's appointments to attend, bed baths, dressing the legs while they were healing from being amputated ( I learnt to do the dressings myself because transporting him to and from the doctor was a challenge a big challenge). My third son was born 2 years after my dad's first amputation and when he was a year old I realized he was autistic and boy that just added to my boiling pot. But you know what, I learnt a tremendous amount of patience and compassion I started to see life through a different lens. My father passed almost two years now from kidney failure but despite the struggle I still miss his presence. I pray that all elderly would be cared for by loving and compassionate caregivers.
Nico keep keeping on! These lessons and life experiences are tough. God bless you for handling business! I am sure your Pop is looking out for and is grateful for your caring and compassion and is PROUD of who you have become! I love watching these videos. Peace Brother ✌🏽
I appreciated this video a lot. The great outdoors, discussions of God. Very uplifting. You are right. Ed never complains. A truly remarkable man, with equally remarkable sons. 🤗💜🏆🎖️
Absolute mad respect for Dan and Danielle Mark for handling this situation with dignity and courage. Ed is a treasure, but you know there have to be moments... I think people may look at this family and get some education as to what life could be like in similar circumstances. My very best regards to all of you for gathering around him and giving him a last stage of life he deserves. We def love us some Grandpa Ed!
Do you realize what a gift these videos are to us? I smile every time, even if it is a sad smile sometimes. Save them in a format that future generations of your family can see them and make sure your kids and grandkids know to transfer the data to formats not yet invented. A BIG thank you.
Thank you. Dan for making it possible for your Dad to enjoy his old age and not dumping him in a nursing home. We should all think of the value of taking responsibility for the aged in our lives and not warehousing them. They have a lot to teach us and the memories are invaluable. Thank you Dan and Mark.
My dad also had dementia but I told him in order to get to Heaven he had to make a decision to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior I also told him he had to ask God for forgiveness for all his sins The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. My dad prayed ..it was a joy knowing that he was going to have eternal life...I saw my dad change to being more gentle and loving ❤❤
Something about hearing you say “you’re okay” always somehow feels like you’re talkin to me and puts me at ease! Those two words mean a lot and a lot of us could benefit from hearing them often
I absolutely love your father I will pray for him and just encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. Dan you are so very blessed to still have your parents you really are. God bless each of you.
@@kandydewey12863:15 I'm with you on that. I don't think I'll be able to rely on my daughters. They left for college & never really looked back. I'm disabled & rarely hear from them. I was a good mom, they never lacked anything & always knew they could count on me for anything & everything. I think children are just different nowadays.
Grandpa is truly a blessed man to have sons like you Dan. He must be highly favored by Jesus! He has His hand on him and your whole family. I love and pray for you all.🙏 Your love and kindness for each other is amazing. I took care of my mom for seven years and she had short term memory loss. Jesus came and took her home at 90. She heard the choirs from Heaven singing for months before she passed. She would say can’t you hear them and I would tell her no, I wish I could! The angels were singing When the Roll is Called up Yonder, I’ll Be There! God bless each of you in this journey you are on. I know it’s not an easy road! Love you all. I will see her and my dad again someday. They are with Jesus!❤️ 3:153:15
How heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss. 💔 My sister-in-law lost her son to colon cancer three years ago. She said if not for her faith, she doesn't know how she would go on. No parent should have to lose their child. My deepest sympathies.
This little exchange was priceless. That you still have these sorts of conversations with your Dad….it’s just beautiful. Everything out of his mouth is a gem.
I'm glad you brought up God to "dad"... I lost my son last October and if I didn't believe in God I would have no hope that I would see him again that in itself gives me peace❤
Yes! That's how I feel about my husband and parents. When my dad was laying in his hospital bed and the doctor said they couldn't do anything else he literally had days left his wife started to challenge the doctor and dad said there's nothing that can be done if God says it's your time. I never thought he believed but it put my heart at some ease knowing I'll see him again.
Many of us watch your videos because we have the gift of vicariously experiencing a relationship that was never ours in this world.❤️. Thank you for posting Dan.
I’m happy for Grandpa Ed as he has his family to care for him. He would be so lost in a home and they would just medicate him too much so his brain would be even more “clouded”. He knows you all love him and that calms him every day, I’m sure. I have much respect for Dan, Danielle and Mark. ❤️🇨🇦🙏
I lost my only child when he was 18. Tall, handsome, and funny. Thank God he died instantly and knew Jesus as his Savior so that he stepped into the arms of Jesus. At the trial for his murder by an angry and jealous young man I told his murderer that he didn’t accomplish what he intended. He didn’t make my son suffer for his “crime” of being handsome and liked by the girl the murderer wanted. Instead he sent my son to an eternity of joy. But…his dad and I are shattered. We don’t really survive. We force our way through each day without him because we have no choice. Life is a pain filled journey after the loss of the greatest joy life offers. No one should have to live through pain of this magnitude. My heart breaks for grandpa’s poor mom all those years ago.
I am truly & sincerely sorry for your loss. I can't share in that experience (thanks be to God) but I can imagine your sorrows. And to hear that you can't find any happiness makes me even sadder. Rejoice in Christ & your son's eternity in heaven. I'm sure you're son would be devastated to know how you live without joy. Please submit to Christ & have Him bestow His joys into you both. I will pray for you also. Find pleasure in the little things. One day you will all be reunited.
O my! Sorry for your loss. O... May God continue to console and give comforts to you and your husband. I pray you're both able to forgive the murderer. The Lord will help you both. Sorry indeed.
We are all one. He’s still with you, you will meet him again. The soul is eternal. You stay strong and get through the trial god has placed in your life. May God bless you. My aunt also lost my cousin at age 19, he was tall, handsome and funny. So sad. I feel your pain. I lost my brother too recently, a young father. My mother and aunt are staying strong. It’s very hard. Stay positive.
You're right Dan, your dad is very strong and never complains. He's always cheerful, never gets angry when he's confused. Your dad is so healthy, has all his teeth AT 91! walks really well, always happy and cheerful and accepting of where he finds himself. He's just a great bloke, he must have always been happy when you were growing up
I love how you make real conversation with him. When I did that with my Mom, it was wonderful to see her emerge. Those memories bring me so much warmth through my grief. You give him his voice, and are a wonderful voice for what these lovely individuals can do and need. You are an exemplary and amazing family.
I could visit with you two for hours. These times are priceless. The best is not only have you shared with so many you have memorialized these moments for yourself.
How beautiful that this son would talk about God with his 91 year old dad while they walk , my mom has dementia born again later in life a life of depression , drinking and drugs untill she said she had no peace and needed to go to the church I attended she asked my youngest brother to take her to my church but it was closed but she remembered a church I mentioned to her she begged my baby brother to help her find the church , she goes to buy a train ticket and asked the clerk for direction a man comes stands to buy a ticket and over heard her and said he was going to the same church , so off my mom and youngest brother went sitting on a train heading to church the man did not make any kind of conversation when they reached the stop of the church she noticed it was crowded and wanted to thank the man but was gone . When she entered the church and sat through the service pastor Cymbala made the alter call mom ran down as fast as she could asked Jesus into her heart and was truly a changed woman , depression was gone , alcohol gone , drugs gone , 30 years of cigarette gone and began to share with others about Jesus in the streets she was happy and forgiven , now she just sits at night in her bed and talks to Jesus for one more day she lived but she is at peace waiting for God to call her to heaven I now I will miss my mom but grateful for the priveledge to be able to care for mom in her final years . God is good and it’s always a good time to talk with God no matter what the age
You are blessed for caring for your Dad and he is blessed to have godly children like you. I pray all of you and your families will turn to God, for end is near, end time prophecies are fulfilled as we are speaking right now. 'Those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." May God bless you all ! 🙏❤
You can hear and see the love that Grandpa has for all his family. I truly believe he will one day see his family again in Heaven. The love God tells us to have truly lives within his heart. God bless him and all of you.
Thank you Dan, Danielle. Mark, along with the rest of your wonderful family. Your sharing is most Christ like. Looking forward to meeting you all in Heaven. Thank you so very much. 😊
I feel like everyone seeing these videos should feel extremely blessed to be able to follow this wise man and get to know him just a little bit. Thank you for sharing your really awesome father with us, Dan. I am pretty sure he has turned a lot of peoples bad days around. I know he has for me, at least. My mom just passed on June 1st. She was 73. I can't tell you how much joy she got when I would share these updates with her after a long dialysis treatment.. so thank you, Ed, for all your wisdom and for bringing some light into my mother's life. I miss her so very much.

How beautiful!
So he got born again ???
It’s never too late to repent,believing the gospel saves us from eternal damnation!
Omg. U just made me cry
Now this right here is a weird and scary.
For someone that had dementia.....? How did he get to think of God not to talk of asking such delicate question.
Still God is a mysterious one and am happy to hear this.
God bless you!
The way Dan cares for his Dad reminds me of the 5th Commandment, "Honor your father and mother." This family is such an example of honoring your parents and a resource on how to care for a parent with dementia. Praying you guys have a blessed day. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Absolutely your comment hit home ❤
That is very true Dan certainly has a way with his father that is so loving and considerate. He certainly does "honor his father and his mother" - Great Job Dan!
If only all adult children were like Dan in taking care of their parents. This world would be a better place.
I really enjoy watching you and your dads interactions.such a great son you are talking car of your dad.❤
I love this comment! 😊❤️
My brother suffers from severe depression. I introduced your channel to him and love he loves Grandpa. Not much makes him happy but your channel really brings laughter and smiles. Thank you ❤❤❤

🙏 🙏 Amen
Amen. John 14:6
I think God loves him but no one cares about God.
That reassurance “you’re ok” is invaluable to your dad. He trusts you so much that those few words centers him and brings calm to his soul.
I am very lucky in that respect. The trust is critical. Watch tomorrow’s video 🥹.
Agree. I love that Dan just simply says “you’re ok Dad”. So simple and so profound. Brings me to tears.
That's still his concerns - how his children are, that's a parent.
Yes it's like their your child & you are the parent or ofc caregiver. He's a great son, repaying his father. Honoring him like God commands on 10 commandments. . his days will be well & long on life I hope as the words promises.
I agree. He trusts you and he seems to calm right down with those few ‘ you’re ok’ words. It warms my heart😊
I love how he “asks are you okay Dan” what a precious father he is ❤
You know, the dividers in this world tell us Southerners say, "Bless his heart" in a flippant and rude manner. Most Southerners who I know (and its many) actually meant we pray blessings to this man and his entire family.
John 3:16 says if u except him
I never had a good father and never knew the real one, but I felt the love when he asked how Dan was doing. Man what a cool feeling.
He always checks on his kids....awesome Pop😢
You have our Almighty Father@@steelcold3912
I was just praying for your Dad and asking that someone would speak to him about God and then this just came up on youtube. Before we call He answers. I pray your Dad finds Jesus as His Saviour soon. With love from England 🇬🇧 ❤
SAME. You’re not the only one…Almighty God hears those kind of prayers and is answering them very quickly these days!!!
Me too
Agreeing in prayer with you for Ed and the whole family! Blessings
I have been praying too
This is the first thing I watch when I wake up in the mornings I just love to see grandpa. He puts a smile on my face at my darkest moments. God bless you all.
It's really hard to survive the loss of a child. Believe me I know. I survive day by day. I lost my son 2 years ago on the 30th of this month. My son had just turned 37. My heart goes out to anyone who is living with that loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself.
🤍
Blessings and Peace To You
God bless you 🙏🏼
Lost two also but as babies. Took me 30 years to get over the hurt.
I lost my Mom yesterday 😢 One year to the day after My Dad ❤ pray that they are back together for all eternity. She was not into religion but would say to me the Lord's prayer and remembered all the words. ❤❤❤
❤sending love from Edinburgh Scotland ❤
Praying for you to be comforted and to have peace through the flows of grief.
Sorry for your loss.
Much love from Amsterdam 😘
So sorry for your loss🙏 be comforted knowing her and loved ones are reunited. I lost my Mom almost 5mos ago and those thoughts bring me some solace. 🤗
Whew!! He walked further than I could have! This is a very BLESSED MAN!❤ Thank you for your patience Dan.
That's love. These two have so much love. ❤❤❤
When Pops asks Dan how things are for him, it hits me right in the heart. He really cares and asks with so much affection and concern, crying, so beautiful. That's love.
We just lost our youngest son of 40 yes with cancer. It helps me to watch these videos. It has not been easy to lose a child😢
At 91 years old,your dad still walks like 60 years old only,such a strong,humble dad you have❤
who's stumbling as they walk at 60? that's fucked up!
My day is not complete without seeing and hearing words of Wisdom from Grandpa Ed🙏🏿
It's the same with me. I just love him❤. Such a sweet soul.
Dan ,your questions for Dad are remarkable.💕
@@janiceableitner6077 You're posting to the wrong person!

This is a family of the Jewish faith.
Dan’s love and respect for his Dad is such a blessing! He will have all these posts to see after his precious father moves on to glory!

Brings a tear to my eye to hear him always asking how everyone else is doing. He is a selfless person to his core and his family mean the world to him, that much is clear.
Well said
Dan you are a legend
Love the teaching experience of this remarkable Dr Ed & sons Dan,Mark,David & family.
The way he stops and looks back and says "this is a long street" - bless his heart. That's so nice of you to take him for walks. You're such a terrific son. 💕
And he walks fast
..I am just 75 and I don't know if I can walk that fast for that long..I just love this man and his whole family❤
Many elderly become silent, not involve in any conversation... they die a slow death just because they get neglected.... But Dan is teaching the world through this media, that how can we keep the elderly active, engaged and respect them. ❤❤❤ I know it's not possible for everyone as they are busy with their life, earning, taking care of their families... But still we can do something, grandkids can help them... I lost my Dad when he was 62, if only he was looked after well he would have lived upto 90 or more...😢😢 He was very much interested to live, see grandchildren... But we lost him...😢😢 Even Mom died at the age of 50...😢 That's why I know the value of parents ❤❤❤
Now eagerly waiting to see them in the resurrection... John 5:28,29
Really really good conversation you had with your Dad, Dan. Proud of you man❤️🇰🇪
Unfortunately even other children who wish they could care for their parents at home aren't able because they are still employed or their health is bad themselves or they have no family assistance to relieve them for short periods of times. I worked as a nsg home nurse as well as home care. As much as you love your parents sometimes it's not practical and hard to trust others to care for their loved as well as they feel guilty they arent able to care for their parents at home.Your family are blessed to be able too.Your dads a great dad.
Ed is doing great being able ro walk that far at his age❤
..and basic conversation is therapy.
What a special conversation about God! God says that He loves the world so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins, so the whoever believes in Him will be reunited with the Father and live with Him forever! What a most precious gift to be given! Whether to trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and to follow Him is the most important decision every human will make in their lives! Love to you, your father, and your family!!
This is the truth of Gods word
Very well said. So true 🙏❤

AMEN!! 🎉🤸♀️🥰🥳
Nah my lady. Allah is the only true God. Jesus is a prophet, a messenger of God.
I've only been watching this old fella for about 5 days but he's such a nice guy. Be so sad when he finally passes on but he's brought happiness and a smile to so many of us.
Who knows Pop may out live is both. He's a strong old dude🙏🏾
I am so loving the way Dan converse with grandpa. His patience and kindness to Ed are some of the things that keeps him going

Well maybe learn that being around Godly people is everything , so I guess your Dad is not Godly…sad
@@shirleyrierson1245 I pity you, Shirley. God is in every one of these videos. Open your eyes. Open your mind. Open your heart.
Agree!
@@shirleyrierson1245 That's not a very nice thing to say.
Another great conversation on your walks. ❤❤❤ Jesus died on the cross for salvation and rose again thats all he needs to have in his heart.
Thank you. Dan for making it possible for your Dad to enjoy his old age and not dumping him in a nursing home.
We should all think of the value of taking responsibility for the aged in our lives and not warehousing them.
They have a lot to teach us and the memories are invaluable.
Thank you Dan and Mark.
Dan, you are an AWESOME son! I wish all Dads were loved and taken care of like you care for your Dad! 🥰
He was worried if his mom cried 🥹 He’s so sweet 💕
I look forward to seeing your father everyday,he is such a lovely caring person,please take care of him ,he does so much for us viewers
I meant to say everlasting
life.
My dad also had dementia but I told him in order to get to Heaven he had to make a decision to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior I also told him he had to ask God for forgiveness for all his sins The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. My dad prayed ..it was a joy knowing that he was going to have eternal life...I saw my dad change to being more gentle and loving ❤❤
Something about hearing you say “you’re okay” always somehow feels like you’re talkin to me and puts me at ease! Those two words mean a lot and a lot of us could benefit from hearing them often
It's always a pleasure to see grandpa.
Grandpa Ed has a beautiful soul! God bless him!❤🙏
He’s definitely a foot doctor. He’s still walking at the age of 91 is a major blessing. God bless y’all family 🎉
Dan, that was the best video you ever posted. Thank you! I think everyone needed that 💯👍🏿 let grandpa know everyone loves
I LOVE how he isn’t a matter a fact about a lot of subjects. “Hope so”. 😢 Me too Ed, me too!
The older and wiser we get the more grey everything becomes. 😉. Billy Joel write a song about it. Shades of grey.
@@dsalnorcal1434 I actually have a tattoo about black and white with shades of grey. Lol. Much love and respect to you and the fam!
Nice you talk to your Dad about God! Wonderful for him to think about him seeing his parents and sister again someday. You're a great son!❤
I absolutely love your father I will pray for him and just encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. Dan you are so very blessed to still have your parents you really are. God bless each of you.
I hope my family takes as good a care of me if I get to where I can’t be by myself anymore as you do grandpa❤️
I can't count on that with my kids 😢
@kandydewey1286 me either Kandy 😢
My husband just passed and I was his sole caregiver. Now I'm on my own 🙏
@@kandydewey12863:15 I'm with you on that. I don't think I'll be able to rely on my daughters. They left for college & never really looked back. I'm disabled & rarely hear from them. I was a good mom, they never lacked anything & always knew they could count on me for anything & everything.
I think children are just different nowadays.
What a completely precious man Grandpa is!!!! It’s beautiful and sad , brings me to tears, but I love him!!!!
I just can't get over he just melts my heart.. may God bless you Dan and Danielle for caring for your dad and mark to course.. Happy Monday
The way he always asked how you are is so sweet. Also, he must’ve been a pleasure in his younger years because he still a pleasure now.
I lost my son in 2017 and it still feels like yesterday. I wouldn’t wish this hurt on anyone.
❤
How lucky to be able to walk with your Dad! ❤
Grandpa is truly a blessed man to have sons like you Dan. He must be highly favored by Jesus! He has His hand on him and your whole family. I love and pray for you all.🙏 Your love and kindness for each other is amazing. I took care of my mom for seven years and she had short term memory loss. Jesus came and took her home at 90. She heard the choirs from Heaven singing for months before she passed. She would say can’t you hear them and I would tell her no, I wish I could! The angels were singing When the Roll is Called up Yonder, I’ll Be There! God bless each of you in this journey you are on. I know it’s not an easy road! Love you all. I will see her and my dad again someday. They are with Jesus!❤️ 3:15 3:15
They might be Jewish.😊
Sending. Prayers. For. Your. Father. To. Find. God. Before. He. Passed. Away. He's. Such. A. Sweet. Man.
I lost my youngest son Jacob last year. No words can describe. Your Dad seems like an honorable man
I'm so sorry 😢
How heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss. 💔
My sister-in-law lost her son to colon cancer three years ago. She said if not for her faith, she doesn't know how she would go on. No parent should have to lose their child. My deepest sympathies.
This little exchange was priceless. That you still have these sorts of conversations with your Dad….it’s just beautiful. Everything out of his mouth is a gem.
I can't tell you how it makes me feel to watch and listen to your dad. I love and respect his generation so much. What a good man your dad is.
Your dad always never fail to ask how you are doing and wanting to help you... An amazing father!💕
It’s great how you care about your Dad Dan
I'm glad you brought up God to "dad"... I lost my son last October and if I didn't believe in God I would have no hope that I would see him again that in itself gives me peace❤
Yes! That's how I feel about my husband and parents. When my dad was laying in his hospital bed and the doctor said they couldn't do anything else he literally had days left his wife started to challenge the doctor and dad said there's nothing that can be done if God says it's your time. I never thought he believed but it put my heart at some ease knowing I'll see him again.
@@kandydewey1286Amen!🙏🙏❤🇨🇵
Many of us watch your videos because we have the gift of vicariously experiencing a relationship that was never ours in this world.❤️. Thank you for posting Dan.
this strikes me. yes. distant provider was my dad. great provider, smart man and should have never had kids,
Jesus thank God for THESE videos 😭 💚💚💚💚
Your patience and grandpas outlook on life is refreshing ❤
I’m happy for Grandpa Ed as he has his family to care for him. He would be so lost in a home and they would just medicate him too much so his brain would be even more “clouded”. He knows you all love him and that calms him every day, I’m sure. I have much respect for Dan, Danielle and Mark. ❤️🇨🇦🙏
He invested alot in his family and they are now reciprocating his love and sacrifice.
My dad is over 91 and he has a spectacular memory and mental ability. God be praised.
He's ok ! That's what I like to hear ❤
I lost my only child when he was 18. Tall, handsome, and funny. Thank God he died instantly and knew Jesus as his Savior so that he stepped into the arms of Jesus. At the trial for his murder by an angry and jealous young man I told his murderer that he didn’t accomplish what he intended. He didn’t make my son suffer for his “crime” of being handsome and liked by the girl the murderer wanted. Instead he sent my son to an eternity of joy. But…his dad and I are shattered. We don’t really survive. We force our way through each day without him because we have no choice. Life is a pain filled journey after the loss of the greatest joy life offers. No one should have to live through pain of this magnitude. My heart breaks for grandpa’s poor mom all those years ago.
I am truly & sincerely sorry for your loss. I can't share in that experience (thanks be to God) but I can imagine your sorrows. And to hear that you can't find any happiness makes me even sadder. Rejoice in Christ & your son's eternity in heaven. I'm sure you're son would be devastated to know how you live without joy. Please submit to Christ & have Him bestow His joys into you both. I will pray for you also. Find pleasure in the little things. One day you will all be reunited.
O my! Sorry for your loss. O... May God continue to console and give comforts to you and your husband. I pray you're both able to forgive the murderer. The Lord will help you both. Sorry indeed.
We are all one. He’s still with you, you will meet him again. The soul is eternal. You stay strong and get through the trial god has placed in your life. May God bless you. My aunt also lost my cousin at age 19, he was tall, handsome and funny. So sad. I feel your pain. I lost my brother too recently, a young father. My mother and aunt are staying strong. It’s very hard. Stay positive.
What a sweet soul.. love you and your family. Thanks for sharing him with all of us
You're right Dan, your dad is very strong and never complains. He's always cheerful, never gets angry when he's confused. Your dad is so healthy, has all his teeth AT 91! walks really well, always happy and cheerful and accepting of where he finds himself. He's just a great bloke, he must have always been happy when you were growing up
You’re a good son Dan.
Some times we don’t find that out until we realize what good people our parents are ✨
I love how you make real conversation with him. When I did that with my Mom, it was wonderful to see her emerge. Those memories bring me so much warmth through my grief. You give him his voice, and are a wonderful voice for what these lovely individuals can do and need. You are an exemplary and amazing family.
I could visit with you two for hours. These times are priceless. The best is not only have you shared with so many you have memorialized these moments for yourself.
How beautiful that this son would talk about God with his 91 year old dad while they walk , my mom has dementia born again later in life a life of depression , drinking and drugs untill she said she had no peace and needed to go to the church I attended she asked my youngest brother to take her to my church but it was closed but she remembered a church I mentioned to her she begged my baby brother to help her find the church , she goes to buy a train ticket and asked the clerk for direction a man comes stands to buy a ticket and over heard her and said he was going to the same church , so off my mom and youngest brother went sitting on a train heading to church the man did not make any kind of conversation when they reached the stop of the church she noticed it was crowded and wanted to thank the man but was gone . When she entered the church and sat through the service pastor Cymbala made the alter call mom ran down as fast as she could asked Jesus into her heart and was truly a changed woman , depression was gone , alcohol gone , drugs gone , 30 years of cigarette gone and began to share with others about Jesus in the streets she was happy and forgiven , now she just sits at night in her bed and talks to Jesus for one more day she lived but she is at peace waiting for God to call her to heaven I now I will miss my mom but grateful for the priveledge to be able to care for mom in her final years . God is good and it’s always a good time to talk with God no matter what the age
You are blessed for caring for your Dad and he is blessed to have godly children like you. I pray all of you and your families will turn to God, for end is near, end time prophecies are fulfilled as we are speaking right now. 'Those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
May God bless you all ! 🙏❤
Dad is a jewel ❤
You can hear and see the love that Grandpa has for all his family. I truly believe he will one day see his family again in Heaven. The love God tells us to have truly lives within his heart. God bless him and all of you.
Dan cares so much for his dad God bless him I wish my mom would still be here with me her and my dad I miss them both so much
❤️🕊️❤️🕊️❤️ God bless your family. 🕊️❤️🕊️❤️🕊️
Youre a good son Dan. God bless you for talking to Grandpa about God.

Amen and I LOVE WACTHING UR FATHER AND U 😊GOLDEN MOMENT 💙💙
I am addicted to THE PEOPLE'S GRANDPA ❤❤❤❤ praying 🙏 for you and your family to keep spreading genuine love & joy around the world 🌎
I feel like everyone seeing these videos should feel extremely blessed to be able to follow this wise man and get to know him just a little bit. Thank you for sharing your really awesome father with us, Dan. I am pretty sure he has turned a lot of peoples bad days around. I know he has for me, at least. My mom just passed on June 1st. She was 73. I can't tell you how much joy she got when I would share these updates with her after a long dialysis treatment.. so thank you, Ed, for all your wisdom and for bringing some light into my mother's life. I miss her so very much.
Dan thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Thank you for loving your dad so much! Odessa
Jesus is our only hope. Knowing there is more waiting on the other side
The family was Jewish
Nice seeing Ed out walking and getting some fresh air. He’s a sweet man. God bless him.
God bless Grandpa.
He was so worried about mom crying 😭 God Bless you Grandpa 🙏♥️
What a blessing you are to your Dad, and what a blessing he is to you. Gratitude personified.
I pray he knows God and not just about Him . 🙏🏻 I enjoy him and your videos . God is real and we can know Him for ourselves ♥️
Most important question you could have ask him. Keep reminding him of Jesus our savior. God bless you guys
I love this so much. So glad you changed your life up Dan. Your going to cherish all of these memories with dad. Makes my heart melt
