Dad's in the living room on the sofa...I am standing near him handing him some tea. Rod is sitting in his chair by us.
This is how the conversation went...
Dad: Now look down there on the carpet....you see them? They look like alligators but their skin is smooth.
Wendy: So Dad....Did you hallucinate today at the Senior Center?
Dad: I don't hallucinate!
Laughter from Rod, me and even Dad laughed.
Wendy: Okaaaaaay....let me rephrase that.....Did you SEE any "odd" things today at the Senior Center?
Dad: Nope, I wasn't looking for any.
Laughter breaks out again.....
And so it goes.

ReplyDeletei know how hard it is taking care of gpa with dementia. it takes an emotional toll on the family that is close. knowing him well when he was healthy---we were lucky.
