My Dad found.

To all those that sent me numerous MM's and supportive replies to a previous thread on Alzheimers, I wish to thank you.

My dads body was recovered, last Thursday, from a creek no more than 5 kms from home.
This was the second time the Police and SES have come to the aid of myself and family and again done their very best to help and support us.

We now have closure but talking with the Police, there will be hundreds of families sitting down to the Xmas table without that option.
I feel very much for them.

Im actualy ok with the whole situation, I could see this day coming and was, in a way, prepared.
You also seem, as the disease progresses, to form a slight detachment from that person. Thats not to say you dont love them any less.

Dad told me once..."Prince or Pauper, never forget right from wrong and always remember your manners, you'll stand tall amongst men".
This advice has held me in good stead all my life.

If there is anyone in your life that you haven't said thanks to or I love you for a while, do it today for tomorrow may be too late.


Cheers......Lionel.
