My sympathies to you Stan. My dad died from Alzheimers in December 2008. My wife and her brother have been dealing with serious illness of their mom for that past couple years. Its horrible to see the parents we once depended on in such a state. But its life and caring for our parents is what good families do -- so along with my sympathies, my hat goes off to you!

Hope to see you back here soon.

Thanks so much, everyone! Your comforting words are so appreciated right now. Its been a hellish couple of weeks, but ive gotten my father to safety and im still hopeful for a positive outcome. It's reassuring to hear from others who have gone down a similar path. This is a special community and you've given me strength -Stan
