I am so sorry for your loss and thank you for making this thread in his memory. My grandmother died at age 88 and she was also suffering from this disease for a few years. During one of her increasingly rare moments of clarity, she gave me a ring of hers to remember her by. I told her I don't need a ring for that, but that it's a precious gift I will carry.
Memories are dear to us and making beautiful ones we will hold onto for as long as we can is the best way to honor the folks who struggled with theirs. Your family sounds wonderful, so make wonderful memories with them. If we do continue to exist somewhere after death, those would be what make our time "down" here worth living. At least that is what I hope is the case. I am agnostic, so I consider everything possible.
I hope your father will manage through his own problems well and have many good days and beautiful moments. And to everyone else, I also urge you to be kind to and thoughtful of elders who need company or just acknowledgement. Even if they want to ramble on about soaps or politics, hang in there and take it sometimes. That is how they reach out at an age where the end feels near and where people feel extra lonely. I used to be amused and slightly annoyed when my grandma would go on rants about telenovelas, even if I hid it well. Now that my mother (age 64) does the same with Korean dramas, I listen and interact more. It does not take a lot to make someone feel present and alive and wanted.

So true:) Very thoughtful and well worth repeating. Thank you.

I was just told today that my father's eldest brother passed away last night at age 85.He became a victim of Alzheimer's several years ago...I shall miss him, but I at least have the good memories of him before his crippling disease destroyed a vital, kind-hearted, funny, independent man. It will be hardest on his incredibly supportive gem of a wife and younger siblings, particularly my father who due to his own chronic health condition will not be able to attend the funeral which is in New York where they all grew up.To all fellow sons and daughters in a similar situation I grieve with ye, and urge ye to spare a word to elderly parents, to take a moment and ask after the memories they may have of departed siblings.
My Uncle Charles was fond of giving things away to others, from the less fortunate members of our society to his large family (1 brother and 3 sisters plus his own sons, grandsons, and nieces and nephews) for which he felt responsible as the patriarch after their parents passed on.
In honour of my uncle, I am going to give away a key here.
Please do not sully my uncle's memory by asking about blacklists or engaging in any petty arguments or insults or drama. I hate that I have to say this but it seems like a reasonable precaution.
