Description
I knew it would happen sometime
It was inevitable that it would
Still the knowing did not make it easier
When it happened as it could
I went to see him yesterday
My mom had said he asked for me
But when I got there to see him
He could not see me
He was lost; lost in the fog
Not dead but still not there
He was walking down the hall
I said "Hello Dad,"
But he did not hear my call
No smile, no touch, no pause
My Dad is now lost; lost in the fog
My dad has suffered from Alzheimer's for over 7 years now. He has been in a special home for almost the last two. He often has trouble knowing me, but yesterday was the first time that I could not make him recognize me - at all.

This is a sweet and sad portrait hon. I'm so sorry for you all. It is a terrible disease. Without your memories or recognition of those dearest to you in life, 'you' simply don't exist any longer. Hugs to you and your Mom sweetie.
That's a sad story, Roxy... We are used to - more or less - to lose our dear ones when they pass away... but this must bring such a pain to lose them while they're still alive. Hugs, Vashek
