I saw my brother struggle through Alzheimer’s. The big brother who played with me even when it wasn’t “cool” to hang with a 5-year old sister. Then it became my turn to hang with him … showing him silly pictures, coloring in cartoon books … anything to get him to smile again. Trust in God. Let Him lead you through this journey with your Dad. Praying for you and with you.
I can relate to this SO much. I am 47, and even though I don’t feel it mentally I am seeing it all around me. My best friend who is 43 received a cancer diagnosis this week and it’s devastating. My heart is breaking for him and his family. It’s started to place my own life in perspective, the choices I make and the things I put off that I shouldn’t.
I also know life here is but a blink in Gods eyes. Eternity is coming.
Thank you, Jason, I appreciate your openness. My dad also had dementia, but we didn’t have a good relationship to go along with that. So I’m happy for you that you can find some contentment in that, but I know it wasn’t easy. And probably isn’t easy on other days. Happy birthday to your wife! I’m sure she reads every word!
Sorry to hear that about your Dad. Dementia is brutal.
It’s definitely not easy, but wrestling with all of the questions has drawn me closer to Christ than I’ve ever been. Still don’t understand it and probably never will, but I’m ok with that.
Love this! If we wait for everything in our lives to be “perfect” we will never be content. It has taken me far too many years to learn to be content …to feel God’s peace even if…

It’s hard but there are always blessings to be found. Thank you for the prayers 🙏

Greg, I’m so sorry to hear this. I will be praying for your friend and his family (and you too).

I’ll let you know on the wife. 😂

Me too! Thank goodness for grace! 😃
Good work Jason. Keep at it brother.
Thanks, Paul! Appreciate the support!
