…to the man behind the Alzheimer’s - my dad 💞
Kind and generous, fun and funny, super smart and hard-working. A man of integrity and strong values. A family man. He was always so dignified, even as he realised the illness was engulfing him ✨
Somehow, his illness has brought us closer and I have more respect and love for him than ever 💖
When I visit him in the care home, I tell him stories about the kids or my week. Or we just sit together and hold hands, and it feels special 💫
I know he doesn’t remember it when I’ve left but I like to believe he at least holds on to the feeling ☀️
Today on International Men’s Day, I’m choosing to see and celebrate the whole man he is, and always has been. 🤍
Sending love
