​@@Letsseewhereimatwish I could like your comment 10 times

@BoardwalkAngel231 Thanks. And by financial, I mean living space... an older person isn't going to take much to take care of , but if you live in a small home that had 3 bedrooms and you have 2 kids and your partner, how are you going to be able to have that parent in your home!? So what I mean by financial is if everyone had a massive home with 8 bedrooms like Dan, then having your parent wouldn't be so bad... people have to realize this family worked hard for what they have but are also very blessed, the dad was a doctor with plenty savings and his kids are lawyer's and stuff they have alot of resources, most people do not have these things

Truth. My mom is in nursing home and when she gets disoriented the staff just calls my phone number and hands her the phone and walks out. Sad

[@covfefox6381]

No one who cares their family members should EVER put them in a nursing home. Thirty+ years ago two of my siblings and I spent a day at a nursing home our late father was employed as a nurses aide. As he was supposedly working, a woman bound to a wheelchair rolled over to us. She stopped, looked at each of us and said "your father is the devil", then rolled away. That was the moment I realized just how evil that man truly was. Not only did he terrorize his children, he terrorized people who had no means of escape whatsoever. Never leave those you love in the "care" of strangers who watch over them in return for a paycheck, no matter their level of education or the "prestige" of the establishment.

[@barrykelly2722]

@covfefox6381 I wish that could happen. Of course, that is assuming the caregiver(s) don't have work or financial obligations. And that is assuming there is more than one caregiver. In a utopia world or a world where families were together and no one is required to work, that is a great way to care for the loved one. Sad we live in such a dysfunctional society. Very sad.

It is tough and no one REALLY understands unless they, too, have been a care giver. When my mother passed, I didn’t know what to do. I had spent every day with her. My children were 5 and 3 when she had a stroke. I was with her when she had the stroke and bc of the great care she received, I got 10 more years with her. She went from depression, to a fighter. She relearned how to walk and talk. She died on Oct. 21st and I think of her every day. This year will be 7 years and it still hurts. I will see her again, someday and we will continue our long talks and laugh like we used to….It was hard but I wouldn’t have changed a thing ❤❤❤

It’s hard to find the patience we need when caring for the older members of our family. My Mother was very ill for 8 years before she died. She would often get depressed and cry. Partly because she was on a lot of medication. Steroids for one thing. It was very difficult for her to be bedfast. She was the one that took care of everyone else, so it was so hard to watch her not really find her place. But as hard as it is, I am very happy to have been the one to be there to help my Dad and care for her. They were patient with the four kids they raised. I think it was the least we could do. I miss them so much.💔

Your dad has lived through a lot. You and Danielle,along with Mark, are doing a great job.

He always remembers that he was born in 1932. Amazing how in dementia one can hold onto some long term memory but forget what was said 2 minutes ago.. If my mom were still living she'd be 93. It hurts to think that she might be struggling to remember who she is and where the rest of her life has gone. It's a beautiful thing to see the love Ed's family has for him, and what a lovely man he is that still shines through.

My dad remembered all his neighborhood friend's names when he was a little kid. Their names, parents' names, pets. It was fun to listen to. Dementia and Parkinson's took him from us too early. 💔

Amazing how time flies. My grandpa was born in 1912 which would've made him 20 years older than Ed. When he was in his 70s he met my stepfather's grandpa who at that time was 95 year old and he was amazed. He kept telling the rest of the family "I just met a 95-year old man." Crazy thing about that guy was that he was 95 and smoked cigars--White Owl brand cigars. He was native Alaskan and always kept working in his village. Guess that's why he still got around well at 95 despite being a smoker. That was the 80s so he must've been born around 1890. I remember it like it was yesterday.

This is awesome!! This man is beyond blessed because his kids love him enough to want to look out for him, that means he did something right! ❤

[@bettydiaz4079]

Love how Dan is so relaxed feet crossed and a assuring comforting voice to bring ease to his father

[@alphashanahan4323]

It seems the only thing that he never ever forgets is the year he was born. Dan, you are a good son. I teared up a bit when you told him he didn’t have to pay rent because he is family. And i like the way you always try to assuage his worries when you tell him some facts which makes him a bit worried, like telling him he sold his house, etc. And even to tell him that he is confused now but things will get clear in a few minutes. Firm, gentle and so patient. Your dad raised you well.

[@letwinrusere8127]

Awesome. Be blessed .There are very few people in a million who are like your family Dan .Granny is great hence gifted with special sons,daughters,daughter in laws,grandchildren .What a lesson to the whole world ❤❤

[@malasookraj1928]

[@loren3220]

Five kids?! He said I better sit down for this 😂 What a lovely man 😊

[@sixacres6115]

I’m sorry for the loss of his memory. As someone who worked with Alzheimer’s and dementia for decades I understand this. Your interaction with your Dad is awesome. I love how you remind me he’s safe. ❤❤

[@ohkeefsfarm8911]

I love it when Ed says, "...and how are YOU doing?"...makes me think if him as a concerned Podiatrist...excellent bedside manner! Great job, Dan. Love your content...my Dad is 96 and doing great, but perhaps inching toward the day when I'll be doing exactly what you are doing. I admire what you are doing!

[@jennyjenny4501]

I’m so sorry Dan. I’ll never forget the first time my dad wasn’t sure who I was. There are good days and bad days with dementia!

[@msfranklin2650]

AWWWWWW GRANDPA IS SO ADORABLE I DON'T LIKE SEEING HIM CONFUSED BUT YOUR PATIENT W/ HIM HE STILL KNOWS THAT THERE'S RESPONSIBILITIES MORE THAN A AVERAGE PERSON HE SAID THE WORLD IS GOING MAD ENJOY YOUR CHIPOTLE

[@borkboxtv8167]

Dads so sweet i chuckled so hard when you told him he had 6 kids he had to sit down and take a breath like what 6?!? Lmaoooo awww sweet dad he’s so lovely

[@heidi4132]

Dan, you have taught me to be more patient with my elderly mother whom I take care of! She’s 87 and loves listening & watching your videos. I tease her that I will hook her up with grandpa🥰🥰

[@budhihartawan7496]

Awesome bro... awesome...

[@lorisheheen2198]

Grandpa Ed is the most compassion, Loving, kind man. He has Dementia..but it didn't take away any of the above mentioned. He is the kindest, kindest soul. God Bless you Grandpa Ed, and God Bless your wonderful family.🙏❤️❤️❤️😊

[@stefanidowling]

Awwww I just love him. His reactions are so funny and sweet at times. He’s so lucky to have such loving caring kids and family. U can tell that he was raised right. This is how we should treat our parents once they’re at that age and needing help similar to his. I think u are awesome Dan….u have so much patience with him and a great sense of humor while dealing with his Alzheimer’s 😊

[@turner4243]

I like how he sits down after he says “five kids”. Like he’s thinking “oh shit this is serious, this has to be a sit down conversation”

[@JennyAnzemberger-fp2ne]

Ed is so kind.I wish him all the best for the rest of his life. God bless Ed and his family.

[@cesarricardo5829]

Dan, I love your kindness toward your Dad. The time will come for all of us. Blessed are the ones that honor their parents 🙏🙏🙏

I absolutely love your pappa! You are most precious as well and very blessed to have your pappa still. God bless you all!

[@debishaw9355]

You’re very sweet to him, Dan. It’s extra hard when they can’t hear!

[@suzannemartin6817]

That is the truth!!!

[@dar7230]

Sure is!

[@unclebuck5051]

Your Dad’s a trip. “I’m 91 and I’m hungry too”. What a great guy, hanging tough, getting along 100%. Your repartee with him had me cracking up.

[@danijacob4119]

I love when Ed hears his age. He’s always shocked. I love when he sat down after hearing how many children he has😂

[@zoofamily6362]

And how are you?!!!!!Made me cry. Dad is everything this world needs.

[@DASands-iw9me]

This man is an amazing sweet, kind human being. God bless you Dan for all you do.
