My Dad was a rock star with Alzheimer. He was a smart man. Best attitude you could ever hope for. Lots of funny, interesting stories were made with him in his last few years while experiencing the disease. His whole life for that matter. He was the baby of the family. 12 children. He had a charmed life. We talked about that often. I have a picture of him and my Mom on their wedding day getting into his brand new Edsel. LOL. He worked hard for us.
