Dad worries about Josh 🥺

Dad was on a non stop loop regarding his youngest son Josh. Dad thinks he is still a child. Dad had been on the Josh Loop for half an hour before this video.

[@lindam7430]

Your Dad is so concerned about his family, what a kind person.

[@dsalnorcal1434]

❤️

[@srargirl1964]

I love when Dad replied 40/minutes isn't around the block. XO we love him.

[@OscarsMama]

This man is incredible. Always ALWAYS concerned for his family before himself.

[@dnice627]

Dan I love when you call him “POP” ❣️❣️❣️

[@007modmom]

Bless him! He has been a busy, hardworking man, concerned about his family and always spent his time wisely. Now he is healthy and energetic and has nothing to do and no one to worry about. I feel his pain. My kids are gone hundreds of miles away and I am alone with nothing to do that makes me needed. 😥

[@bythebayou5351]

Volunteer! Seek out people who need help. Deliver meals on wheels. Volunteer to call shut-in to chat with them daily. So many things you could do.

[@DeniseSterling-k5u]

​@@bythebayou5351 Great ideas!! There's always something to do if you look...

[@speedbump2448]

I know he gets so frustrated dealing with his memory loss. Could he maybe work with legos and build simple things? Is there any type of senior center he could visit to have people his age to have coffee and talk with. He is used to being engaged with people from the days of his practice. 😔. Do you have access to a motor home to take on an overnight trip somewhere to let him reminisce about all his own travels. I think he has cabin fever. 😉

[@sandramartino3243]

Props to you Dan. It takes extreme patience, and a lot of love, to do what you do day in and day out. It is also heartbreaking to see this disease progress with someone you love. So much respect for all of you.

[@Awokxxn]

Dan, I absolutely love your dads sense of humor and wit. When you were explaining to him that you and Josh are both his sons so Josh is your brother and he goes "well you have a point there " I lost it 😂😂 His spirit still shines through so strong !

[@marypettyfer4640]

I noticed that 😊

[@shellos8]

He's absolutely precious. You're very fortunate that he's not combative. I know it's not easy taking care of him, but as you know, it could be a whole lot worse.

[@si002]

Always so kind and thankful 🙂

[@karencampbell2760]

So true..my mom is so combative and hard to deal with😢 we must be thankful in all areas of our lives bc it definitely could be worse!

[@justkris1238]

You are great with him. He really wants to be productive. We had a similar situation and a dr told us to give them a "job". Something simple like fold some kitchen towels or match up socks. It helped and made him feel like he was contributing to the house. Seemed to help mentally as well.

[@mlwehberg]

Oh my😢 I had the same conversation with my dad all day long. Men of their generation were defined by their work, how they took care of their family. My dads dementia and his inability to drive, work and do for others like he used to was the source of sadness, frustration and anger for him. 😢

[@kathrynkranjac]

Dan, your patience is amazing. Grandpa you remind me of my dad. Everyone loved him, just like you are loved

[@karenhussey8576]

You're so patient, kind and positively doing a wonderful thing taking care of Pop. He's a great dad and dignified in his position. He knows that he's got memory problems, but trusts you so much. I wonder what he would have said if you asked him what he wanted to do instead of hang out. ? Does he ever say what he wants to do? I would like to see you ask him..... Thank you for sharing. You're both inspirations.

[@dsalnorcal1434]

Thanks so much

"You are a good son". That touches my heart.

[@JazMa5504]

Grandpa despite his dementia, LOVES his family, I am grateful he still knows you, Danielle, Josh, Mark and all his Loved ones, even his poor brother who no longer is here, he still Loves and Remember, Thank You for all you Dan😊😊😊

[@rhondafelice1363]

What a sweet man and you are a wonderful son. I'm almost 70 and bought a home with my youngest son. I have arthritis that makes it hard for me to do some things some times. But my son makes sure I have everything I need and everything I want. I'm very Blessed like your Pop.

[@innocencyike5630]

A good parent is always a good parent no matter his or her condition. Telling Dan that he appreciates him and that he is a good son. What a wonderful dad. God bless him and bless Dan too.

[@lindadainard7629]

Your sweet Dad seems to be always hungry.

[@ozma639]

Oh, Dan bless you! You and Danielle are my heroes. Your dad is such a sweet man, always worried about his family. Always so surprised that he is 91 years old. Born in 1932, he will remind you, but due to the deep trust he has in all of you, he accepts what you say, scratching his head. I wish you all the happiest New Year Year. And thanks for sharing your precious dad.

[@homegown1234]

At least he is working and not counting on his siblings to support him like some people I know in my family. You'll should be happy over his success as a medical sales person. I wished I had that talent to drive all over the state and cities too. Good job.

I love watching you and your Dad. My father passed almost 15 years ago when I was 26. As hard as it must be to deal with this disease, you're a lucky man to have your Dad still. It's a blessing and I love that you don't take for granted the time you two have together. Many don't realize until it's too late. God bless you and yours.

He seems quite bored. how's your dad with playing games such as tic tac toe, or simple puzzles ...even drawing a Mr. Potato Head? a little brain work never hurts and maybe you can help him do those things.

[@natalierobledo4294]

I am a personal support worker in Canada. I absolutely love your videos with ur dad. The dementia kicks in and it seems they all need something to do.

[@janetlongislandsticher]

I think Grandpa's memory thinks that all his kids are still young and I think that's why he ask all those questions. This disease is so sad.😢

[@dsalnorcal1434]

Yup

[@barabarasevents]

I understand Dan … I cared for my mom .. it can be exhausting but we do it bc they took care of us .. Your a good son .. and family

😂

[@awueseagwadza1248]

Yea, and that’s bcos the two issues are in the right memory part of the brain. Early in his life - 3-10yr Danielle is in the recent memory part. She is new

[@samling4246]

Ed married Danielle's mother who died from cancer.

[@amalyacampbell82]

Oh man, Dan, you're awesome! I don't understand how you do it but I praise you and your wife for being so patient with your dad ❤

[@jameskox872]

No doubt . . You'd put your dad in a nursing home . . . Because you wouldn't feel any loyalty to your dad and probably would also do the same with your mother . . . Hopefully they never need your help . . . You probably be to busy to even go to there funeral . . . That's pretty sad .

[@amalyacampbell82]

My comment wasn't to put Dan down but to praise him for his patience with his dad. Come on, why be so rude!!!

Ed’s blue eyes looked so beautiful in this video. They reminded me of my daddy’s eyes. He also had dementia/Alzheimer’s. You all take such good care of him. Unlike my dad, Ed seems to know that something isn’t right with him and his memory. As difficult as it is that I no longer have my dad, I really respect what you all do with Ed and for him. Caring for my dad was so hard but I’d give anything to still be able to do it. God bless all of you!❤
