[@barbaraatwell8613]

You have the patience of a saint, you speak very well to your Dad, he understands you. You have to change your speech as they change don’t let the nay sayer bother you, you are doing a excellent job. I’m 79 a widow, I live in a seniors assisted living I see dementia in many forms daily, it effects people differently that surprised me. Bless wishes

I like your videos, I texted you before about my father in law and he had dementia well he passed away early this morning with my mother in law by his side and their son my husband. He was at peace and a few days before he told my husband " its ok i will be alright " . You are still in my prayers. Take care.

Awe thank you! I am so sorry for the delayed response. I haven't really been on KZbin much in the last year because I became a full-time caregiver to my Mom who has some brain damage from a carbon monoxide leak. I am still helping with my Dad part-time. I am so sorry about your father in law!

Hi. Your Richard’s daughter right. ? Is your name Sandy or Molly? Ftd has come close to me. And I appreciate your videos very much.

[@richardsjourneywithftd]

Yes Richard is my Dad. My name is Sandy. The FB page that we are really active on is called Molly's Movement. So when I make update videos that is usually why Dad always says "hello Molly's Page". I am so sorry that you have to even encounter FTD in any way. It's not a fun disease at all and impacts each person so differently. We are very fortunate that my Dad has such a positive attitude. Thank you for taking the time to watch his videos! He really likes making them and it gives him a purpose and knows they are making a difference and bringing more awareness to FTD.

It truly is a cruel disease and so hard to watch. It will just keep on worst until they are just a shell of a person.
