Its amazing that in the last stages of life, even as parts of his brain shut down he still consistently asks how he can be of service to those around him. What a humble, amazing soul.
I work in the hospital and this just breaks my heart but I really am amazed at how well you and your brother do with your dad and not allowing him to be in a place where he would be mistreated. You both have earned a crown in heaven.
Dan, you were raised very well by your parents. Your Dad is a fine example of his generation. My father was born in 1929. Family, responsibilities, courtesy, self-respect, respect to others, and raising children to be good citizens were on top of their list. God bless your dad and the rest of the family.
Bless his heart. he covered all the things in this one, where's my car, my checkbook, where do I live? But then he also wants you to get that garage tidied up! 😂 And there's always dinner. You're a patient son to answer all those questions over and over. We might all be where he is someday.
1/19/23: 🙏😉I've had an extremely stressful life for last 27 yrs, you and your DAD have a Good LIFE, it's hard living at other people's homes, DAN, but seems y'all can keep track of everything🤗 Thanks for Sharing, puts a smile on my face. Patty Sue in MARYLAND
That has to be so difficult to see your Dad like this but what an honor it is to take care of him! I know it has to be very hard at times repeating yourself over and over it shows that he cares and cared for his family making sure he has money and a home and his car God Bless you and your family you are all amazing really!! Hope he’s doing well and you all are doing well
I'm slowly getting to that point. It's hard when you have taken care of your family, taken care of your parents, and then your family starts taking away things that you knew would happen some day, but oh that some day is coming on too fast.
Haaaa so sweet eh? I liked the part when he found out he had 5 or 6 kids and he looks so defeated on how he is going to take care of all those kids. Haaaaaaaaaaaa sometimes you want to just start laughing. I took care of a lady whom we were trying to get her dentures in and it was a bit challenging that day and she said to me r u sure these r not your ?? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol. Have to find the humor in it all
That's how my mum is..the same thing over and over and over...and u have to ensure u don't snap or make them feel bad cos they need keep knowing as forgot..it's tough but......
He has a great attitude. He is confused and disoriented, concerned and worried, anxious and restless but never seems angry or futile. He has a great life filled with people who appear to genuinely care about him.
Your dad is so cute and funny, especially when it comes to his money. My dad is 95 years old and always worried about his money. He gets around like your father, pretty much self-sufficient, but his memory is starting to decline as well. I love your patience and the banter you have with your father. Watching your videos has taught me to be more patient with my father and the process. Thank you so much, you are a great help to all of us.
He wants to be " useful". As we age it seems we need to feel useful and not any, "burden". I absolutely love how good of a son he's got to love and support him. You are all blessed to have each other.❤ My son aged 29, died recently in my arms from organ failure and for some strange reason, these videos help me.❤
So sorry for your loss. The Lord will give beauty for all ashes, oil of joy instead of mourning. He is in a better place. Your son is no longer in pain.
Goodness, Grandpa is a remarkable man. He loves his family! He worries about his money, his car, his brother and Mark! Dan, you are his shadow and always calms his fears!
He shows us plainly what his priorities were through life. Taking care of his family, he’s so polite you are blessed to have had him as your dad. Tons of integrity.
Dan, you and your brother Mark and family have done great job of taking care of your dad! You have inspired many people around the globe! God bless you!
I've learned a lot from Ed. I've learned about what a man gives to his family and what is important to him to achieve that. He needs to feel needed and strives to keep track of who he is to himself and to those he loves. He is a good man.
You are so kind to your Dad . We took care of our Mother with dementia. Keep your Dad off medication . Our Mom live to 96. She sang all the time & we sang with her. She remember all the lyrics. She is an angel in heaven. Love your Dad ❤
I look after my 90 year old mom who lives with me. This video reminds me so much of our interactions. I pray for patience as they ask the same questions over and over. God will bless you Dan.
Gotta find things for him to do. They need to feel useful. Just like when I worked with disabled people. I have been working with seniors like grandpa the last few years. And I love it.
Oh I just came upon you guys this last week . Thank you for sharing . You are so wonderful with your dad Dan . Bless you all . Your dad is a sweetheart . I love how he wants to help . guess he won’t remember what he’s doing but do you give him little jobs .
I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I swear I can feel the hands of my parents in mine. I miss them so much it actually hurts. I’m so sorry you feel that pain too. 😢❤️😘
I lost my dad at 49 in 1984. I enjoy watching Dr. Salinger interacting with his sons and other family members, something I'll never have. My mom passed at 67 so being a caregivers of 80-90+ yr old seniors is a very humbling experience. I am learning by caregiving and loving them too!
I was a CNA for 20 years and specialized in Alzheimers/Dementia. You're doing great! Here's a tip: play music from HIS Era. Tunes his mother and grandmother would have played on the piano. This can calm a confused state and the memories he will recall and lucid stories he will tell will blow your mind. Music therapy is awesome. Bless your heart. You can also add little reminders near his mirror. "I live here 3 days a week" ,"my checkbook is at Marks"
Yes I am a retired CNA/GNA and worked in a nursing home. I agree with what you said, play music from their era. Yes put up signs this is my room and reminders to help them. You are doing a wonderful job and your wife and brother is too. God bless you! ❤
He wants to feel needed. As a man of his generation, he needs to feel needed. He’s a sweet man and you are a good son Dan, as is Mark, for taking such fine care of him. 😊
Thank you..for you thoughtful words..I was just going to say simular.. He is sweet..he needs something to do..to feel needed..even small.things To help him..not get bored.. Can even help hime..a simple hobbie Painting is therapeutic...nothing fsncy..really God Bless You all Ephesians 6:2-3 King James Version 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
This is how my dad was with Alzheimer's. He was always concerned about the car and about what he had to get done around the house. Never a dull moment lol. RIP Dad.
Am sorry but am loving Dad here, so lovely and such a beautiful son to take care of him. God bless you for adding dad to your family and taking good care. Thank you for sharing… we just love him❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that he wants to help... My mom doesn't want to even do the few dishes in the sink. I may have handed him a broom and said can you sweep the garage 😊 Bless his and Your hearts 💟
I've been a nurse's aide for 32 years I've always dealt with dementia patients. This guy warms my heart! And he's lucky to have you. You're so patient with him and that's the key!
Amazing how only short term memory is affected. He remembers his birth year. He remembers his siblings. He remembers how to speak. Its fascinating. God bless. Hes great company.
I feel so badly for him when he gets confused. It must be hard to not know why all the things that are important to you and everything you worked for your whole life - car, house, money, being independent - are either taken away from you or you don't remember it. He remembers they exist but he doesn't remember why he doesn't have them.
GRANDPA has a beautiful smile! I love how Grandpa smirked when he was going to show Dan his license! Dan I really respect how your father is very cordial courteous. He always says pardon me excuse me I am sorry etc. it’s a shame Grandpas generation is slowly disappearing and so is this generation’s salutations and class! You are a GREAT SON Dan!
I took care of my dad before he died and I took care of my mom before she died too. My younger brother and sisters think I got stuck with them but I knew then and I know now I was the lucky one. I have many more memories and stories to tell. And I know much more about the family and everything else than anybody else. I have figured more things out about my parents I was the lucky one.
dan you have done a amazing job taking all these beautiful videos of your amazing lovely father. you are respectful compassioned just like your dad. respect to all of you from bali. its a beautiful example hpw everybody should deal with their parents.❣👏
Dan you are an amazing son I admire you having your dad at home the love and patience you and wife have it's not easy we had my dad at home those nursing homes do not treat them good in front of you real good people and behind you a different story it happen to two of my friends. I love seeing your videos of grandpa God bless you guy's ❤🙏
My Mom passed almost 2 years ago. She had dementia. I was her primary caregiver, and THANK GOD, my sisters all helped me! I would give anything to have her back. I miss her so much every day. Just because a person is forgetful doesn't mean that they aren't lovely, kind, funny, cheerful souls.
I love this guy. He don’t like sitting around he’s always wanting to stay busy and do something. Amazing how even with his memory loss he’s still got it for being 90.
@@kellymendez He was 90 when I made the comment 4 months ago and Dan tells him he’s 90 it’s year 2022 and he was born 1932 so yeah it’s in the video of you watch it. He may be 91 now but your being ms obvious. 🤣
The grace & patience you have for your dad is amazing! I work with dementia & alzihemiers residents, and it takes a big heart full of love to cope with them! I love it. ❤
Please , let him do something in the house so he can feel proud of being helpful and give him more pocket money even he doesn't use them. God bless you .👏👏
He has forgotten many things but he has not forgotten how to want to help others. The gift of Love is undeniably his strength. God bless him and his family.
@@user-st6nt4ou6fbut that gets negated by 3/4 because he is a 49ers fan, just kidding OP you seem like a solid dude. (And that's coming from a Dallas fan, yeah yeah let me have it lol)
Love these moments, when you explain things to your dad, it may be a couple or three times that you repeat yourself, but it seems that it finally clicks with him. The most amazing thing to me is that you are soooooo good with your dad, and he with you! I love that he doesn’t believe he’s 91 years old. If you think you’re 60ish, THATS WHAT YOU ARE. He is lovely funny, and SPUNKY! Kudos on you Mr. Dan. God BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!
He's so precious! I love how he wants to help & be useful. ❤ God bless you & your family for taking care of him & loving him. I'm sure everyday isn't easy. Thank you for sharing your sweet dad with us. He may be in the state he's in but his spirit still seems joyful & positive. I think that's what make me love watching your videos of him - he's a doll! It's evident he loves you all very much! ❤😇 All things considering, he seems to be thriving. You seem to be wonderful people! Wishing your dad & family all the best!
Maybe giving him a few more simple tasks might help. You're doing an amazing job guys. He's a treasure. Every day and every memory with him counts.Enjoy each other. Thankful he's still mobile and eating good. 💓💓
My Mom always wanted to "help" so we gave her little things to do and she was so happy to feel like she was helping. Folding laundry, towels, easy stuff to do sitting down. Peeling potatoes or carrots and such was great for her. Money worries are comman, the car, even small stuff though might bring worries to their mind.
OMG…your Dad is exactly like my Dad! My Dad is 83, great physical shape with stage 4 dementia. All my Dad cares about is driving, cars, money, and what’s next! High five to you and your wife for taking such amazing care of your Dad. He’s very lucky to have you.
It's evident that he has always prioritized taking care of his family! His children. He wants to have money to help out and wants to physically help too. What a father's heart... I bet he worked HARD for his family growing up. 🧡
I love you guys. Grandpa is amazing. Always worried about money, dinner, his phone and his house. I feel so bad for him but you’re giving him a great life. Amazing.
Dad is a wonderful soul! My sisters and I shared the care of my Mom who lived until she was 82! It is great that you share in the care of your Dad! God bless you all!
2/1/23: 🙏It would be Soo GREAT, if everyone lived their life's caring for their parents like Dan and Danielle and Mark. I was raised by God parents, school teacher, brick layer and their mom Vanamee lived with them, we all had our own rooms, it was all nice-Grand piano, Fireplace- just warm, safe and nice. Ya can't need much more. Patty Sue in MARYLAND
Bless your heart Dan and family. You’re kindness compassion and patience with your dad is admirable. You answer the same questions over and over with such grace😂 grandpas videos always put a smile on my face, he is such a gentleman and I’m a huge fan . You’re a true example on how we we should treat our parents as they age , dementia can be very challenging especially to the caregivers and affects the whole family . Keep doing what you’re doing
He is so helpful always wanting to help and it is amazing how you go through the same answers everyday with kindness to your Dad❤️ God’s Blessing to you!
Aww. Love him. Car mention tick ✅ Cash mentioned ✅ Cheque book mentioned ✅ Wants to help mentioned ✅ Bless him. What a cruel condition but you handle it so well 💪❤️
Not such a bad condition, they literally do not mind too much, which is the only good news about it. God bless our elderly and eventually take them home to paradise. They deserve our best.💜
It’s sooooo nice of you to document dad’s activities and conversations…..a lot of good memories…..he looks really good for 90…..this is how everyone should take care of a family member…..god bless you all….🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
I like him. Thank you for publishing these videos of your Dad. He's obviously a grand gentleman that's loved immensely by you. Well done, sir. You're a fine son. 😊
Men of that generation were defined by their work and productivity! Hard for them to not be that hardworking productive person anymore. My dad had dementia and he focused on these same things!
Ahh I love him! He is so good!! Every time I saw him ,tears come out of my eyes! 😊 And you and your wife are such good persons and help your father so much!
So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. But more beautiful to see how you're talking care of your Dad, which is what he did for the first 18years of your life
every single time i watch your videos i instantly start crying. it is so clear that when he was able to be on his own he cared about others and did everything he could to help out wherever needed. When people who lived a life being angry and bitter towards others and their mental capacity diminshes they resort immediately back to their natrual ways of emotions when told whats going on and usually yell and scream and get mad. This guy immeiately responds and is so calm and understanding even though he is confused beyond anyone is able to even understand. I cant even put into words how much i admire this family and seeing how great of a son this man raised is the exact reason why he is able to be cared and loved in this state of his life. SO MANY people immediately drop their loved ones off on the door step of an assisted living, leaving their family member without the only people they can still remember to be taken care of by people who are irritated by their existence. Its so sad and shouldnt even be an option in my opinion. if your parents are in this state its your obligation to take care of them. after all they didnt sacrafice anything for bringing you in to this world or anything like that. Bless your family for being an example of what a good family is supposed to do in these circumstances of life. I absolutely love your pops he is an amazing man and im sure he lived a life worth writing a book about. Thanks for bringing us into your world, it is so so appreciated.
@Matthew Randolph. Sometimes it is the only alternative to enlist the assistance of a facility that can take care of your loved one. When my mom needed 24/7 care I had to move her into a nursing home. Although we love our parents we can't be there day and night to take care of them. Because I was the only one to care for her, I had no other options. So it's not like family members just drop them off and leave (although some do) we just need help. I was a constant, nice, pain in their butts when it came to taking care of her.
This man is such a sweetheart. He must have stayed active and worked hard. I can tell he's energetic and wants to help. He is trying to feel needed. If there's any little project that he can do without hurting himself, please let him do it. Maybe get a couple of bird houses for the yard and let him paint them. I'm sure he would strive for perfection. And regardless of how they look, they will be the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Cherish this time as life goes by way to fast. You will never regret taking care of him. And be thankful he's not mean and wanting to fight.
Thank you for sharing/ documenting both of your journeys. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m very grateful that I have found it. It has helped so much!! Best positives to you all!!
He’s such a kind and caring man. Smart as a whip, and a strong desire to be useful and help out. I’m sure he was a fabulous Doctor and I bet his patients loved him just like his family does now. God Bless.
Longsuffering and being abke to do it graciously like you do is a fruit of the holy spirit. You certainly are honouring your father and your mother to im sure, if she was here.

He so badly wants to help out. So precious ♡
I don't think it's really about helping it's bothering him because all the stuff in the garage.
He has OCD definitely
No he does not want to help; he wants to manipulate!!!!

I love Grandpa. he reminds me of my own dad. things they say to u always make u laugh. his son is marvelous.
Agreed
Happy new year to you dan your wife and father

Bless this man... He's so mixed up yet totally lucid and coherent. He's extremely fortunate to have a family that cares so much.

I love that he wants to help... My mom doesn't want to even do the few dishes in the sink. I may have handed him a broom and said can you sweep the garage 😊 Bless his and Your hearts 💟
There is a special place in heaven for this man taking such good care of his father. God Bless you.
Of that I am certain.
It isn’t easy but you’re saved a place in heaven.
One of the Ten Commandments had the promise of a long life if you honor your father and mother,. This son fits that.
I agree...caregiver here🎶 this son is so terrific ❤
I've been a nurse's aide for 32 years I've always dealt with dementia patients. This guy warms my heart! And he's lucky to have you. You're so patient with him and that's the key!
I really loved watching you and your dad. More blessings to come in return to your family in taking good care of your dad.
You’re a wonderful son Dan and Mark so amazing God bless you I love watching your videos
I love that you still give him dignity and treat him like the man he is. Dignity and patience is key.
Yes, I've noticed you TONE with him is spot on. You validate him. That's everything.
He says the water is there, LOL, This is so precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing how only short term memory is affected. He remembers his birth year. He remembers his siblings. He remembers how to speak. Its fascinating. God bless. Hes great company.
It’s not limited to short term, that’s just where it starts usually.
I am 55years old. I love watching Dr.Ed and his family. He has such a caring way about him. Always concerned about his family. God bless his heart.
I love it when Dad takes out his wallet to count his money!! Dad is priceless!
Watching your dad shows us what's important in life. The car, the checkbook, where you live, family, helping others, that's it.
You are so right!! I ❤️him!! He love 💕 his family!!
I love how he just accepts everything with grace
i want to be like him when i grow old
Me too 😊
I don't want to get type 3 diabetes
Deep in my ❤️ I know n his young yrs,he's xtremely good man n father
I like how his son has time for his dad. Responds to every conversation. God bless him.
I feel so badly for him when he gets confused. It must be hard to not know why all the things that are important to you and everything you worked for your whole life - car, house, money, being independent - are either taken away from you or you don't remember it. He remembers they exist but he doesn't remember why he doesn't have them.
GRANDPA has a beautiful smile! I love how Grandpa smirked when he was going to show Dan his license! Dan I really respect how your father is very cordial courteous. He always says pardon me excuse me I am sorry etc. it’s a shame Grandpas generation is slowly disappearing and so is this generation’s salutations and class! You are a GREAT SON Dan!
This is so true, Grandpa is a class act born in 1932! They don't come like that anymore. It's unfortunate. 🙏🏽💜
I took care of my dad before he died and I took care of my mom before she died too. My younger brother and sisters think I got stuck with them but I knew then and I know now I was the lucky one. I have many more memories and stories to tell. And I know much more about the family and everything else than anybody else. I have figured more things out about my parents I was the lucky one.
Beautifully said!!! So true!!
He's like see smirk "date don't matter" he's absolutely wonderful 💖
dan you have done a amazing job taking all these beautiful videos of your amazing lovely father. you are respectful compassioned just like your dad. respect to all of you from bali. its a beautiful example hpw everybody should deal with their parents.❣👏
Dan you are an amazing son I admire you having your dad at home the love and patience you and wife have it's not easy we had my dad at home those nursing homes do not treat them good in front of you real good people and behind you a different story it happen to two of my friends. I love seeing your videos of grandpa God bless you guy's ❤🙏
My Mom passed almost 2 years ago. She had dementia. I was her primary caregiver, and THANK GOD, my sisters all helped me!
I would give anything to have her back. I miss her so much every day.
Just because a person is forgetful doesn't mean that they aren't lovely, kind, funny, cheerful souls.
Yes this is so true.
I love this guy. He don’t like sitting around he’s always wanting to stay busy and do something. Amazing how even with his memory loss he’s still got it for being 90.
‘I’ve driven it? OK good.’ ❤ 😂 Love it
It's amazing!
He's 91
@@kellymendez He was 90 when I made the comment 4 months ago and Dan tells him he’s 90 it’s year 2022 and he was born 1932 so yeah it’s in the video of you watch it. He may be 91 now but your being ms obvious. 🤣
The grace & patience you have for your dad is amazing! I work with dementia & alzihemiers residents, and it takes a big heart full of love to cope with them! I love it. ❤
Please , let him do something in the house so he can feel proud of being helpful and give him more pocket money even he doesn't use them. God bless you .👏👏
He has forgotten many things but he has not forgotten how to want to help others. The gift of Love is undeniably his strength. God bless him and his family.
I can only hope to be half the man this guy is. He's 90 yrs old and is still thinking about everyone elses well being. Bless him.
Such a good man. Brings me to tears.
You are, by virtual of your desire to be so.❤❤
@@user-st6nt4ou6fbut that gets negated by 3/4 because he is a 49ers fan, just kidding OP you seem like a solid dude. (And that's coming from a Dallas fan, yeah yeah let me have it lol)
Love these moments, when you explain things to your dad, it may be a couple or three times that you repeat yourself, but it seems that it finally clicks with him.
The most amazing thing to me is that you are soooooo good with your dad, and he with you!
I love that he doesn’t believe he’s 91 years old.
If you think you’re 60ish, THATS WHAT YOU ARE. He is lovely funny, and SPUNKY!
Kudos on you Mr. Dan. God BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!
He's so precious! I love how he wants to help & be useful. ❤ God bless you & your family for taking care of him & loving him. I'm sure everyday isn't easy. Thank you for sharing your sweet dad with us. He may be in the state he's in but his spirit still seems joyful & positive. I think that's what make me love watching your videos of him - he's a doll! It's evident he loves you all very much! ❤😇
All things considering, he seems to be thriving. You seem to be wonderful people! Wishing your dad & family all the best!
Maybe giving him a few more simple tasks might help. You're doing an amazing job guys. He's a treasure. Every day and every memory with him counts.Enjoy each other. Thankful he's still mobile and eating good. 💓💓
My Mom always wanted to "help" so we gave her little things to do and she was so happy to feel like she was helping. Folding laundry, towels, easy stuff to do sitting down. Peeling potatoes or carrots and such was great for her. Money worries are comman, the car, even small stuff though might bring worries to their mind.
Yes, he needs some simple tasks.
Yes. He needs something to do. He is bored and needs to feel useful. 90 years old is amazing.
I agree. He wants a little task at least.
I agree...He must be used to 'caring for his boys' and while grateful might be stir-crazy in the home/s.
The son is such so pleasant to his dad what a great example to the world. God bless him. ❤
90 years old and still moves around pretty good. Even with dementia he still pretty quick witted.
Im so hooked watching him. Love it.Sad and happy at the same time. Thank you. You are an amazing son. Bless you. 😢
Love this man. He brings me so much joy. Thanks for sharing. ❤
OMG…your Dad is exactly like my Dad! My Dad is 83, great physical shape with stage 4 dementia. All my Dad cares about is driving, cars, money, and what’s next! High five to you and your wife for taking such amazing care of your Dad. He’s very lucky to have you.
Very very very lucky !!! And that's blessing too
It's evident that he has always prioritized taking care of his family! His children. He wants to have money to help out and wants to physically help too. What a father's heart... I bet he worked HARD for his family growing up. 🧡
And license
Love this precious man, no disrespect, but it hurts me to see his decline. He deserves dignity and respect and privacy, in his latter years...
You are a great and needed example for everyone in your position. Patient, caring and making the best of the time you have with your dad. Thank you!!
Prayers from Canada Dan. You and your brother are awesome human beings. Your dad is a lucky man. ❤
Your Dad has such a sweet heart. Thanks for sharing him with us.
That right Mandy he is smart
I love you guys. Grandpa is amazing. Always worried about money, dinner, his phone and his house. I feel so bad for him but you’re giving him a great life. Amazing.
Dad is a wonderful soul! My sisters and I shared the care of my Mom who lived until she was 82! It is great that you share in the care of your Dad! God bless you all!
2/1/23: 🙏It would be Soo GREAT, if everyone lived their life's caring for their parents like Dan and Danielle and Mark.
I was raised by God parents, school teacher, brick layer and their mom Vanamee lived with them, we all had our own rooms, it was all nice-Grand piano, Fireplace- just warm, safe and nice. Ya can't need much more.
Patty Sue in MARYLAND
So true. The confusion must be so scary - I hope a cure for dementia is found
You guys are amazing!! I love your Dad so gentle!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Everyone loves your dad. He is a caring, loving person who worries about everyone else. ❤
Your father is a hard working man... 90 but still walking on his 2 foot.., he's strong and helpful. You got a good one.
Bless your heart Dan and family. You’re kindness compassion and patience with your dad is admirable. You answer the same questions over and over with such grace😂 grandpas videos always put a smile on my face, he is such a gentleman and I’m a huge fan . You’re a true example on how we we should treat our parents as they age , dementia can be very challenging especially to the caregivers and affects the whole family . Keep doing what you’re doing
I just adore Dad. Dan, you’re are very blessed. God bless you and your family. ❤
Even at 91 he is awesome. Love keeps him going..😮😊
He is a sweet dear man..lucky to have you Dan and Mark. 😊
AND Danielle too.
I love him and he's not even in my family. Helpful, caring, always worried about his kids, makes sure he is paying his own way....what a great guy.
He is so helpful always wanting to help and it is amazing how you go through the same answers everyday with kindness to your Dad❤️ God’s Blessing to you!
Been watching these video's for a while. Gotta love this man! Grandpa is so wonderful. You and your family are doing god's work Dan!
I love him, I love how he doesn't get angry. Such a sweet man and blessed to have a wonderful family. :)
Aww. Love him.
Car mention tick ✅
Cash mentioned ✅
Cheque book mentioned ✅
Wants to help mentioned ✅
Bless him. What a cruel condition but you handle it so well 💪❤️
Where do i live? ✅
Is this your house?✅
Not such a bad condition, they literally do not mind too much, which is the only good news about it. God bless our elderly and eventually take them home to paradise.
They deserve our best.💜
It is heartbreaking, but also heartwarming.......the human condition
And his brother ✅
“ Where’s Mark?” “ Where does Mark live?” Precious man.
I think he's absolutely wonderful. Am from UK. He is the nicest man . 90yrs old bloody wonderful xxx
It’s sooooo nice of you to document dad’s activities and conversations…..a lot of good memories…..he looks really good for 90…..this is how everyone should take care of a family member…..god bless you all….🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
I’m just some older heavy metal guy but I think the world of you guys. Your dad is such a wonderful person.
I like him. Thank you for publishing these videos of your Dad. He's obviously a grand gentleman that's loved immensely by you. Well done, sir. You're a fine son. 😊
❤😂 God bless your heart. Your dad is amazing.
Love the patience and love! This is excellent!!
Men of that generation were defined by their work and productivity! Hard for them to not be that hardworking productive person anymore. My dad had dementia and he focused on these same things!
I adore Dad, so easy going and wants to be of help. Such a gentle loving, soul.
Ahh I love him! He is so good!! Every time I saw him ,tears come out of my eyes! 😊 And you and your wife are such good persons and help your father so much!
So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. But more beautiful to see how you're talking care of your Dad, which is what he did for the first 18years of your life
I love the way he says “okay”. It’s so innocent and cute.
every single time i watch your videos i instantly start crying. it is so clear that when he was able to be on his own he cared about others and did everything he could to help out wherever needed. When people who lived a life being angry and bitter towards others and their mental capacity diminshes they resort immediately back to their natrual ways of emotions when told whats going on and usually yell and scream and get mad. This guy immeiately responds and is so calm and understanding even though he is confused beyond anyone is able to even understand. I cant even put into words how much i admire this family and seeing how great of a son this man raised is the exact reason why he is able to be cared and loved in this state of his life. SO MANY people immediately drop their loved ones off on the door step of an assisted living, leaving their family member without the only people they can still remember to be taken care of by people who are irritated by their existence. Its so sad and shouldnt even be an option in my opinion. if your parents are in this state its your obligation to take care of them. after all they didnt sacrafice anything for bringing you in to this world or anything like that.
Bless your family for being an example of what a good family is supposed to do in these circumstances of life. I absolutely love your pops he is an amazing man and im sure he lived a life worth writing a book about. Thanks for bringing us into your world, it is so so appreciated.
Matthew, what an amazing comment 👏
So true .
@Matthew Randolph. Sometimes it is the only alternative to enlist the assistance of a facility that can take care of your loved one. When my mom needed 24/7 care I had to move her into a nursing home. Although we love our parents we can't be there day and night to take care of them. Because I was the only one to care for her, I had no other options. So it's not like family members just drop them off and leave (although some do) we just need help. I was a constant, nice, pain in their butts when it came to taking care of her.
This comment made me cry. What a beautiful thought. Thanks
Well said Sir👍
Thanks for taking us with you . Yr Dad has a Heart of Gold.. such a wonderful Daddy ,continue taking care of him ❤ watching from Oslo Norway
I enjoy watching your dad, that's why I subscribe ... God bless your dad... more years to leave.
This man is such a sweetheart. He must have stayed active and worked hard. I can tell he's energetic and wants to help. He is trying to feel needed. If there's any little project that he can do without hurting himself, please let him do it. Maybe get a couple of bird houses for the yard and let him paint them. I'm sure he would strive for perfection. And regardless of how they look, they will be the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Cherish this time as life goes by way to fast. You will never regret taking care of him. And be thankful he's not mean and wanting to fight.
I’m not crying! You are!🥹
Thank you for sharing/ documenting both of your journeys. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m very grateful that I have found it. It has helped so much!! Best positives to you all!!
God bless you...you are an awesome son! I take care of a 95-yr-old gentleman and your patience is off the charts!!!
He’s such a kind and caring man. Smart as a whip, and a strong desire to be useful and help out. I’m sure he was a fabulous Doctor and I bet his patients loved him just like his family does now. God Bless.
Your Dad is such a sweetheart. Your kindness and patience towards him is an example to us all.
Longsuffering and being abke to do it graciously like you do is a fruit of the holy spirit. You certainly are honouring your father and your mother to im sure, if she was here.
Loving children to their Daddy..kindness care compassion from this loved ones❤.
Yes, patience is key. We have to remember the scads of questions we kept asking as kids.
So glad that you are sharing... In my country people think dementia is shameful. People need to see the loving videos of your dad❤️❤️
