How are you doing, Punk? And how is your dear Dad?

Seems like once they get Alzheimer's, they're on a slippery slope. Which isn't to say there will never be anything good that happens.

It wasn't until Mom had been in the care center for several months that I ever heard her sing! I was at the piano playing some church hymns and she began singing! When I was a kid she wouldn't ever sing in church b/c she didn't think she had a good voice. But she knew all the words and sang on key! Amazing to me.

And she made a friend. No one else knew what they were talking about, but they understood each other. It was great to watch them smile and laugh together!

It isn't easy having a parent with dementia, that's for sure. I feel for you and your parents. I hope you are well. Give us an update when you can, K?
