Thank you, JDiver, for sharing this with us. I have, on occasion, mentioned that my father is ill. I have never specified: it's Alzheimer's. It has been a difficult road at times, but you don't love them any less. And I'll tell you something some people might find shocking: there have been moments when I have laughed. Out loud. Like when my father called Liz Taylor and Richard Burton "gluttons for punishment" for marrying each other twice, a fact he had forgotten.
I appreciate reading about your travels with your wife and how you are adapting and making it work for this new phase of your journey.
