My beautiful dad died of Alzheimer’s.
This poem is for you Daddy. You are my hero; the best father in the world. You loved unconditionally. you held onto your dignity with superhuman effort….
I was so proud of you. You clung to your old-fashioned manners and values until death.
I am glad you died with your dignity intact. I loved you every day of your life and will continue to love you every day of my life.
A special Poem Do not ask me to remember. Don’t try to make me understand. Let me rest and know you’re with me. Kiss my cheek and hold my hand. I’m confused beyond your concept. I am sad and sick and lost. All I know is that I need you To be with me at all cost. Do not lose your patience with me. Do not scold or curse or cry. I can’t help the way I’m acting, Can’t be different ‘though I try. Just remember that I need you, That the best of me is gone. Please don’t fail to stand beside me, Love me ’till my life is done. – Unknown
Love love love the pictures; what a beautiful bride.

What a beautiful tribute to your dad. I love this poem that seems to speak for those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Tersia it seems you’ve had more than your share of loss, yet you’re still encouraging others who are hurting. God bless you. (((Hugs)))
