Popped in quick to visit Grandpa today.  I brought with my 2 year old grandson.  Grandpa can no longer understand that he has great and great great children.  We've come to understand that Grandpa does not remember that he is old.  He thinks he is anywhere between the ages of 9 and 50.  He does still most of the time recognize family.

Once the aides found him (in someone else's bed) he was tickled to see his great great grandson.  He looked at him and told him "I love you".

I had a nice little visit with Grandpa today.  I brought some of his old pictures to look through with him.  He really enjoyed them and could still name a few people in them.  Here are a few that really brought a smile to his face.

He seems to be sleeping more.... after every meal and in bed by six.  I rush home from work so I can get him ready for bed.

Halloween Party 2015

My grandfather is 94 years old.  He is a World War II Navy Veteran who has dementia.  He was placed in a beautiful Assisted Living Facility near to my house.  While I do not have legal responsibility for him, I DO have moral responsibility for him.


He was a wonderful grandfather to me all my life and I enjoy seeing him often and documenting the happy moments in his life.


We are very thankful for the staff at his facility for the loving care he receives there. 


Yesterday, they dressed him up for a Halloween trick or treating.  He was originally dressed as John Wayne, but also looked like Clint Eastwood or Woody!  I got there in time to see him passing out candy to the children which he really enjoyed.
