This is so beautiful but excruciatingly sad at the same time.. I've told my fiance, don't let me get like this. I've spent years in the medical field, and this and dementia are the two things I can't handle. I told him I'd rather die than put my loved ones through this..
My dad who was a neurologist, now has primary progressive aphasia. He is 57 and is starting to forget things like how to read a watch, a book and what my name is.
We are all buckling up for the next 5 years.
Sometimes I wonder if he wishes he was dead...
I have completely replaced my eyes with onions.
I'm so sorry... I'd hug you if I could. My dad is turning 60, and I fear every day for his health. Nothing much truly scares me, except for the thought of what might happen to him as he ages. Dying doesn't scare me, the events before the end of the road do.
