Lost a mentor, teacher and friend...

I make it a point to never tell someone "I know how you feel" unless it is true that I do. I lost my Dad in 2010 at 86 and my mom at 88 in 2014.
Both to complications from Dementia and Alzheimer's. They were married for 63 years when my Dad passed. So yes I can say I know what your going through. It is a terrible thing to watch them slip away from this horrible disease. And not knowing there own son or anything of their surroundings. My condolences.
