Thursdays with daddy
Quote From: bzbluiiiYour story hits on all the same emotions I have about being the care taker. I didn't realize how difficult it would be. And I don't think others know the sacrifices we make with our families to have the time to do this. Somedays I feel like nobody really knows how much time I spend doing laundry, banking, personal things. Even though their basic needs of food, meds, supervision are being met, there are still other needs than only the family can provide. Most people don't even bother to stop by and say hello cause they think she doesn't remember any way, but she knows for that moment in time. Hey there, this is just a few lines that might help. In a way you seem to be kind of trying to covince your self that your dad remembers you. I work in a nursing home with residents who have AD and there minds or off some where and they dont know reality no matter what, but when a wife or a daughter or son comes in they recognize them. So I absolutly believe he knows you are there and he is waiting on you on Thursdays, the food is an added bonus. I understand where some might feel quilty having to put some one in a nursing home but it really is the best thing for some people. I dont know if this will help or not, but I hope it does. Good luck with your dad, and by all means keep up your thursdays. God has blessed you.
