My father-in-law

[graeco_celt]

Those of you who have followed my journal for at least as long as I’ve been with Florenci know that his dad was already suffering from an advanced state of Alzheimer’s by the time I came here, so I never really got to know him directly, as he was when he was well. I feel as though I have come to know him, though, through the memories of the family

Yeah, Florenci's mum had his dad at home for as long as she could but, you know, she was about 76 when he finally had to go into the residence because, let's face it, that's getting on a bit to be handling that on your own.

Anyway, thank you very much for your thoughts. :)

Handsome chap.

I'm sorry for your loss and please send my condolences to Florenci. It's so difficult when you loose a parent.

Take care *hugs*

I'll pass that on to him and thanks A, it means a lot. :)

Very sorry for your loss, my heart really goes out to you and Florenci and both your families. And thanks for sharing Pip, what an amazing man he seems!

Thank you. :)

The more I've learned about him, the more I wish I'd been able to meet him before he became afflicted with Alzheimer's.
Then again, there is a lot of him in Florenci, so I sort of have, in a way.
