For many years I was kept in the dark about the severity of my father’s condition was becoming. He began to have memory issues and I attributed them to age. He always tackled things on his own, never wanting to rely on others. What I thought was a change in heart was truly a change in his mind. A mind that he no longer had full control of as his dementia set in. Eventually the disease took his life though there were times, once he was put into a home, where we were able to find our way back as father and son.
