Like when you get the phone call at 10 pm and the old man asks "what happened to the sun?" because he thinks it's 10 am. The other day he called for bail money and an attorney because he thought he was in jail (he's never been arrested in his life). If you allow yourself to always see the sadness in these things, you'd be crying <i>all</i> the time.<br /><br />Froggy - That's what we wanted for him. The original idea was to move him in with us, but he was better then. We realized we couldn't do it as he slipped further and further into the disease. Thank god we have the resources to keep him at home until the end - whenever that may be; his doctors say he's quite healthy otherwise.Fixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672137568947891733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-60939152159004051542011-08-17T14:34:03.808-04:002011-08-17T14:34:03.808-04:00just laugh at the crazy shit

Fello...It's a sad situation, no doubt about it. Fellow I knew, his mom had it. He said you just laugh at the crazy shit she would do. That was his coping mechanism. At least your father-in-law can stay in his home and has people who care nearby.DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182965443810437028noreply@blogger.com
