Don, my Dad, was the best Dad you could ever ask for. He was always there to help you in anyway you needed. Even after Alzheimer's started taking a toll on him, he said if you need me, just call, I'll help you.

He was the best guy to give you directions. Back when people used maps and wrote things down and didn't have navigation systems or apps to help you, Dad would give you options: the scenic route, the fastest route, the one to avoid traffic. Alzheimer's stole this from him, once his Alzheimer's progressed, he would get lost himself to places he'd known 3 different ways to get to. He never took the same way twice to and from just to see different things along the way.

He also loved cars, going to car shows and driving in parades. Alzheimer's took away his ability to drive safely and to find his way.

He loved to tell you stories and they were always fun and silly stories. We first noticed signs of Alzheimer's when he would tell us the same story over and over just a few minutes apart. We loved the stories but before he was affected by Alzheimer's he would tell the stories a few weeks or days apart and they always made us smile. Sometimes they would be a little embellished in the re-telling.

Dad loved to travel. He also loved geography and history and as the disease progressed, traveling was very limited. Mom couldn't take him on trips because you would have to watch him every second or he would wander off and get lost, so it was safest to stay home or near the house.

We were blessed to have had him strong and healthy for so many years and that Mom was always there taking care of him no matter how he was doing.

Thankfully, he always remembered that we loved him and would give us hugs when we saw him.

Please help find a cure for this devastating disease.

We don't know how Dad was feeling, as he couldn't communicate it to us, but we know he would get frustrated. We don't know if he even knew what was wrong with him.

We will miss him terribly and know he is up in Heaven, driving his car and telling stories.

Please help fund the research for a cure for Alzheimer's and support for all the family members who are caregivers because it takes a toll on them, slowly losing their loved one to this horrible disease.

Thanks for listening to my Dad's story and for any donation you may give. Always remember if you know someone with Alzheimer's, there's a small piece of their old self in there wanting to be remembered.
