Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease that slowly erases the mind of the person you once knew. My father suffered this dreadful illness for a few years before he finally managed to rest in peace. The worst part about it was he was very aware at first that he was changing, and he became very agitated and frustrated when he couldn’t do the things he knew he once could. As a family we watched him digress  from the true patriarch whom we all respected and relied upon,  to a frail, frightened old man, drinking coffee from a toddler beaker and being fed custard - something he absolutely detested. RIP dad - we’ll find a cure one day!
