In Loving Memory

of my wonderful Dad.......

I know this sounds like my dad has gone on to be with the Lord.

In a way I guess he really has. Dad is still here in body. Just his sweet little mind is

gone. My dad has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I never realized the pain that children have

when they see their mom or dad with this, until now. I go to see my dad &

some times he just looks right through me. Other times he tries so hard to

talk to me and I can not understand one thing he says. A while back I spent the night

with my dad. He knew me most of the day. I put him to bed & I slept in the same

room with him. He woke me in the early morning singing, "When we all get to

Heaven." I know that my dad is saved. He gave his heart to the Lord years ago.

Dad often ask if the day is Sunday. He wants to go to church.

He can not go any more. He is very hard to manage when my mom takes him

out. It is all she can do to get him to the doctor and home again. My mom

Gearldene Harendt is the most wonderful mother in the whole world.

She treats dad like a KING. Dad sometimes will tell you this too.

He will say, "Sister, they sure treat you like a KING here." It hurts so very bad to see

my dad like this. I know we should not question God.

As I know, one day he will be whole again.

Come now and join me.....

as i take a walk down memory lane with my dad...
