Life with Dad

Caring for someone with dementia, you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Location: Texas

This blog is a reflection on being a member of the "sandwich generation". We are those sandwiched between aging parents who need care and/or help and their own children. After an extensive remodel of our house, we moved my parents in with us. Dad has Alzheimer’s, which adds complications to the situation.

Children and Civics

"We had 2 children; tha's what we had."

"We are raising them the best we can because we love them. That's what we do."

"We are raising them to become righteous citizens of the United States. That's what we are doing because we love the United States."

"They will soon be old enough to vote; that's what they will be."

"We are teaching them the right way to vote. They will be righteous voters; that's what they will be."

"We cannot tell them which way to vote. That's what we cannot do."

"We will make righteous citizens of them. They are citizens of the United States; that's what they are."

"They will vote for a righteous cause; that's what they will do. So they will pick out a righteous cause; that's what they do."

"They will think before they vote; that's what they will do."
