Dan represents what it means to Honor Thy Mother and Father
I do agree...Trinidad and Tobago❤
Amen
Dan you are blessed. Your kids will be there for you as well . I have tears of happiness rolling down every time I see your videos. That’s remind me of me and my mom. Unfortunately she left way too early at 74. I wished I could enjoyed her more!
Absolutely 💯
❤
You made me teary eyed when you said "I'M GIVING BACK WHAT HE HAD GIVEN TO ME." You are a great son Mr Dan 👍👍👍
In spite of his illness, Dad has a sense of humor and charisma ... he is blessed to have sons who take the time and love to care for him.
Totally blessed t have a family that takes care of him. Taking care of our elderly is normal in our culture but u set a fine example for society here so I m glad. And he's easy t take care of. Yes u have t repeat everything but thats the way it is
Thanks for having me on the show
Hey Dan thank you and your dad for putting a smile on my face, I really enjoy the videos...I wish you guys the best!
Thank you for showing me what true love having a family looks like. ❤ I love you all
Dan - THANK YOU!
The way you talk to Dad is so wonderful. Just letting him be him and being with him in his world. My mom died with dementia. I am so glad I didn't fight her and try to make her what I wanted. Enjoyed her so much!
I held back tears watching. 🙏🏻❤️
He is living longer and a more fuller life because of his sons!!! Bravo!
I’m so happy watching you and Grandpa fan from Tokyo Japan💖💖💖🇵🇭🇵🇭
I'm happy that I found your RUclips channel as a person who was thrown into this situation and had to make a decision to give up on everything that concerning me and had to take care of my mom and it was difficult but the almighty God gave me the strength to take care of her and after her passing I continue learning more of dementia care the person I took care of,got my undecided love and support.🙏🏽❤️☮️🇹🇹🇺🇸.
Original 1'm original from Trinidad in the Caribbean islands 🙏🏽
@@snst4929you are a compassionate son for the things you are doing for your dad. You are compensating for the things he did for you as his father. You are initializing awareness of the Alzheimer's to a lot of people and getting to know how to deal with it till he passes away . Both of you will be happy in the end, that's what matters! God bless both of you!
God Bless you SON
The Heart of This “ SON “ is the heart of Love That’s What Matters .you all are blessed
Made me tear up hearing how Dan does to his Dad what he used to do for him. All parents are blessed to have children like Dan and his siblings. The legacy on the circle of life is so valuable. Bravo!!
I love grandpa he's such a sweetheart Lisa from Canada
Also, good to have parents that were helpful and kind too because without that kind of kindness some adults won't want to be there due to past hurts.
Mark and Dan are a huge part of this story, and they are true heros. And hats off to Danielle for allowing her husband to bring his dad into the home. That's a big undertaking. God bless this family
The wives of those men are true heros as well
It takes a village to do life well and good. This is pure proof for the world.
I have fallen in love with them
@@catheyharris6039they are already married, may be come to me i am also doing it like them 😂😂😂😂
Yes ,
This son has the patience of Job and so much love for his father, these are truly teachable moments for the entire world.
Some day we could end up in this state. Love and care for our parents is comforting!
He has a lot of help from his other brother & especially his wife!
These past few days my moms memory suddenly has declined and I’m the ONLY ONE who takes care of her almost 24/7!!!
Answering the SAME QUESTIONS over & over again bc her short term memory is extremely weak, I AM DRAINED!
I’m not trained or used to this but I really don’t know HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS!
😢
Salinger is a Jewish family may grandpa be blessed❤
This son has also a great wife who is doing a lot of work for their family. This man is blessed at least twice: with his father and with his wife.
@adonyisrael1724 it's a challenge that you can manage with support.
Watching this reality will help .seek help from Dr. SKILLED NURSING PROFESSIONALS SKILL TRAINING.
Dan is so understanding of his dad. They are a pleasure to watch and Dan is so patient with his dad
Dan is GREAT
I listen to Dan and then I can patiently face another day. I haven't lost my temper one time in the 6 weeks I've watched Dan. Mom, 90. would be on her way to a nursing home without Dan's encouragement and example. We are doing great. Much love to Dan.
Powerful effect. Good on you Mary. Good for your Mom.
If u want mom to live don't send her to a nursing home or assisted living!!! Please!!!! I worked in both places! And have had family members with dementia/ elzheimers
Good work Mary!❤❤❤
Gracefully done
I hope everything works out for you and your family, Mary, as you care for your mother.
Despite his dementia, Dan's Dad has an engaging charm.
Dan and his wife are absolutely amazing. They keep their Dad active and entertained.
Dan Salinger is teaching people compassion for the elderly. Grandpa is mirroring the compassion shown to him several times a day. Excellent example of how family should function!❤️
Exactly! This is what we lost in our families and I am so happy that he decided to start a channel!
I have to think it’s the other way around. Grandpa modeled compassion and patience to his kids, and now Dan is giving it back to grandpa.
@@jamieparrish5143 correct! It’s mirrored behavior.
This is not the way to deal with dementia ,it's cruel to be telling the dad ,he doesn't work ,drive ,have a home or need money ,the poor man always looks so sad and hurt by the cold hard truth😢😢
@@monicadouglas954 I agree in part. They have to tell him what he can’t do but I agree that he should have a list of daily tasks. Routines are great for the brain. He could water plants, feed an animal, sweep a hallway, and they should be asking him about medical advice routinely given that he is a doctor and he hasn’t forgotten any of his training that he learned through routine over the years.
My mum is 73,she has dimentia.We live in Kenya.I am grateful to Dan and Mark's family for sharing their day to day life with their dad who has dimentia.
I have recently began watching this family and I have already cried twice, I knew of a son who was taking care of his father and he had his father with him until his Father forgot how to swallow food, liquids, and medicine and soon died in the hospital..... I fear after coming to love Ed, and I already love the different episodes and spend a good deal of time watching them the immense pain when Grandpa does pass..... I am setting myself up for a world of hurt!!!!! I would literally have to bound my hands behind my back to leave my phone alone!!!!! ......,..................
Your dad inspite of his having dementia have such a great disposition! There are some dementia patients who can be difficult to manage. I took in my mother to care for her as she aged with dementia. I had the skills and training to help her even during the difficult times. It takes a lot of love and patience. You and your brother are doing a great job with your father! My sister helped me when I needed breaks so having help for the caregiver is essential too! My mom is no longer with us but cherished those days of taking care of her❤!
Glad to see my other Kenyans
@FaithImani-qj1ci sorry love 💕 praying for you
Hi from Oklahoma in the US! My brother & I are also helping our mom with her journey through dementia. Another person to check out who has been a great help to me is Teepa Snow who has a channel too.❤
I just want to give Dan, Danielle and Mark a big hug, for helping to change the world in this way. Love you guys!
I swear we need more people like Dan he’s just so positive much respect 💯🤙🏻
We ourselves need to mimic Dan look out for seniors and babies, I appreciate ppl like Dan an his complete family
My mom (89) suffered a stroke and she went to the hospital. We realized my dad (96) was worse off than mom. Between us 5 kids, we took turns coming to the house to put him to bed, dress him etc every other weekend. We all worked, so had International caregiver live at the house - they stayed 24/7 for 2 weeks, then we had the weekends. It was hard, but we managed to keep him at home till he passed. Best memories, listening to his war stories at 3am (cuz he couldn't sleep) but I had to get up for work in 3 hours. You just do it.
My seven brothers and sisters did the same for my Dad when he became bed ridden. Once he died we’ve continued to stay with my 90 year old mom so she’s not alone because she has serious vision loss. Fortunately her memory isn’t an issue. We’ve been doing this for three years. It helps to have a big family.
Wonderful story and family. Kudos to you all. You found a way.
Absolutely… you just for it. Thanks for sharing.
Dan & Mark are giving their Dad such of beautiful quality time on his late years , I’m sure this will have a positive impact on his health and have him around for many many more years. Much love 💕
During high school, I worked as a CNA on an Alzheimer’s unit. The quality of life you are giving “Grandpa”, is admirable. He is a true gentlemen. ❤
You are doing a great job ! This is an honorable profession. CNA should get higher pay and be recognized for their hard work!
I have fear of dementia and becoming a burden on others. The fact that he is still contributing to his family is so heartwarming and hopeful!
My husband is 63 and has dementia for years already,I'm the caregiver.(wife)it is not easy.
My mom took care of my grandmother through three strokes. My mom also was in the medical profession for over 30 years. She know what to do and what to expect but never in a personal aspect. Now in my 50s I’m taking care of her (my mom) I was never in the medical profession but watching my mother I learned a lot. And now that I’m taking care of mommy I wouldn’t have it any other way but it is trying at times. Everyone in this situation keep your heads up be patient and we will make it through GOD bless ❤❤
If you don’t want dementia do heavy metal detox often and Harvard university Proved that cannabis rebuilds neurotransmitters in combination with mushrooms regrows brain cells in my opinion this man is abusing his father by not giving him the proper treatment fucking sickos
@@nettiefunk8838 your under-stated, "it is not easy" speaks volumes for the reality of this situation for most people, and I appreciate the fact that what you're experiencing is emotionally and physically trying and exhausting. My hope is that the people who comment, "so cute", "wonderful", "love you" etc, turn those comments into voluntary action to provide support. I know, from personal experience and observation, that there are plenty of care-givers, like you, who would appreciate that. Bless you, Nettie, and I hope you have some time and support to take care of yourself too. x
I don't wish that on anybody if somebody has dementia ( get a brain scan to see what is wrong with the brain and talk to the doctor about memory vitamins )
I like that Dan includes his whole family to help and have time with his family this beautiful. Dan is a beautiful person and we need more ppl like him
Dan, Danielle and Mark are doing an incredible job with taking care of their dad. I wake up every morning looking forward to seeing grandpa. Love you guys.
So beautiful, enjoy your dad, we watching from South Africa, i had no idea how this condition work
Not Danielle
@@arcticwanderer2109 I agree that woman has zero patience with the father 🤦🏽♀️
@@arcticwanderer2109 Danielle actually does a lot for Ed. Exactly what is it that you have seen Danielle do or say that you feel justified in stating, "Not Danielle"????
From what I have watch, (which is ALL of their videos with grandpa)Danielle cares for grandpa as good as Dan does. She shows her love for him as much as Dan!!
One video when grandpa fell off the high stool in their kitchen, it visually, emotionally hurt Danielle, to the extent of making her cry. It tremendously upset her when that happened.
Apparently you have no clue how hard it is to care for someone you love that is suffering from Dementia!
Until you have walked in Danielle's shoes, you shouldn't judge her. Unless you can show she isn't good with grandpa, which you can not from their videos!!
@@tonyaperry4763 she has no emotions or feelings for Grandpa. There are many videos where you can see her cold behaviour.
I have early stage dementia. At first I was so upset and scared. I just didn’t know what to expect. I still don’t know what will happen but you and your dad have eased my fears and added joy and some fun to my days. Thank you for everything you have done to help me adjust to this dementia.
Take care of yourself and ask for help if you need it.
Have you researched detoxing for parasites and making an alkaline environment in your body ? Good luck to you
Wishing you well as you deal with dementia ❤
Thank you for sharing and your honesty. Wishing you good care and good health on this challenging road. ❤
Take vitamins, B1, B12, C, D, E, zinc. Basil, sage, omega 3, ginkgo biloba are good. Do things that you like, dancing, gardening, painting... Listen to music. Blue berries are very good for dementia and also other berries.
Love how Dan appreciates and acknowledges his wife's efforts for his dad cause as he said it is not her father.
He's actually her stepdad as well
Es is Danielle s step dad,
@@janeyd5280 ??
The son is wonderful with his dad! He has so much patience and the dad is the cutest, I ❤️ watching them. Even though you can tell the dad has dementia, we can tell the dad was a great dad and he loves his family and it appears he took great care of them. So his kids are taking good care of him in return and that’s the way it goes. God Bless them. Bravo ✌🏽
I completely agree ❤️🙏
No he doesn't have that much patience with him. .....he yells at him alot...
@@funkynassau..4881 He's not yelling. He's being Stern with him.
@@jamyzahniser8961 Jamy... I took care of my mother the last three years of her life..Started out like Ed...graduated to total invalid...
All I'm saying is , and not be negative..Dan ain't seen NOTHING YET... And again from experience Dan needs to chill on occasion..
Much love to Dan & Danielle they are doing the best they know how..😊 Dan needs to talk to a dementia consultant..
@@funkynassau..4881 he yells only bc his dad is very hard of hearing
I made it to 23 minutes without frying crying. What a warm, empathetic, loving man this is. He spoke so highly of his Dad and it hit me in the gut every time. Just beautiful - really like his outlook on life too! ❤
Ed is such a nice man. Not all dementia patients are so easy going. No matter, it has to be exhausting constantly repeating his situation to him.
I love how you always gently reassure your Dad that everything is ok , especially when he seems concerned about money , you always tell him he has plenty of money and he can go to the bank anytime he wants . You guys always give him his dignity that’s love ❤️
Hats off to Mark n Dan & Daniel. Actually the whole family is a part of the Dr's life. God Bless all of you.
Danielle
I remember my mom’s last days in the hospital I wiped her. She said daughter I never thought you would have to this for me. I said mom you did it for me. So Dan you are 100 percent correct.
Where’s his checkbook? It’s at Mark’s! 😆 ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right lol 😂 he’s so adorable 😍 I love old people anyways. Old people and dogs 🐕 little piece of heaven
My moms mantra is “ where r my glasses?” I’m her caregiver and it’s not a picnic. His dad has a much better disposition than my mom and I would guess most most dementia patients. God bless him❤
👍🤣
Good family👍
I'm so happy that gentleman spoke like he did....our society is missing caring for others, humbleness, respect, lack of empathy...
This also falls back to the US healthcare system. Home care is the fastest growing sector, but it’s been EXTREMELY hard to get this paid through insurance. Impossible mostly until recently, despite it being a cheaper option for many. Gotta get logic back into care & remove the way too many big corporations
So true!😭
Thank you for helping me see dementia in a new way.
My friends mother paid $100 a month for caregiver insurance for 10 years . Once she needed 24 hour care after 1 year the caregiver was cut down to 16 hours. So the 3 Brothers and I did the graveyard shift. She eventually ended up going to an assisted living facility. The new doctors actually took away 7 medications that were conflicting and caused more confusion for her. She improved for a couple of years but was non verbal or responsive when she died at 94. It takes a lot of effort but it is worth knowing you did your best to keep her happy.
0p😊
I fell in Love with Grandpa. I'm 46 years old n had a near fatal car accident 02/27/1993 brain damage, short term memory loss. I understand n have alot of compassion for Grandpa n the family. LOVE Nicole from Tampa. Prayers n Blessings...❤
The reason he is loved so much is because of his happy disposition! No matter the topic he usually always has a smile❣️
I really love watching this family. Even with dementia he always wants to make sure his family is okay. He has a great heart ❤️
Great son, his wife, and his kids.
We love “Dad” he shows us that we’re not alone in our journey with our 92year old mom
It’s the loyalty towards your parents so valuable
Your dad used his youth to serve the world at the shoe shop and as a podiatrist. At his old age ,he is still giving people hope.
Bravo Grand dad Ed
Wow! I love your words! 👍
It’s about millions of us out here can relate to him, for we’ve gone through what he’s gone through and he’s doing just a fantastic job with his father
I simply love the warmth in the son's voice. It is about a son showing love to his dad, not a person looking after a dementia patient please!!!! All blessings to you!!!!
❤️
A year later and he’s still at it with so much care patience and agape love for his father 🥲 what a great example he’s been displaying for the world ❤
I have to say I find Dan Salinger’s gratitude to and appreciation of his Dad to be deeply heartwarming. The entire Salinger family is doing an amazing job of caring for Ed. And what a guy he is.
Robs dad must have been a heck of a man. Responsible, productive, loving family man, who has a wonderful family. You guys rock!
“Giving back what my Dad had given me” That’s beautiful !!!
He loved hearing Dan salinger while watching it on the TV. He sounded so very proud, I've never seen him smile a smile so bright
Your father sweetness brings me to tears. Precious, priceless, what a gem
Hi Dan.
I’m a Muslim mother daughter and nana. My entire adult life I’ve been planning to take care of my parents. My father passed away and now I’m praying that I get to look after my mother when she needs to be cared for.
As Muslims we know that the keys to the doors of paradise is taking care of your parents.
I’m very impressed and insured Dan. Thank you so much for countless reasons major one for taking CARE of your dad.
Thank you thank you from the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪
Much love and respect to you and your family ❤
You area wonderful son .God bless you
He's capturing everyone's heart because he is sweet, has a great attitude and seems like he is a wonderful father and I just love him! ❤
I absolutely love the father. He's a an absolute keeper.
I am from Ethiopia and I live in germany. I am a fan of Dan and his father, we also protect our elder family, so i very love them very much when they are protecting him.
Your dad reminds me of my dad. The things he says. You treat your father exactly how someone with dementia should be treated. Respectful, supportive and positively. I hope others learn from you all.
I watch grandpa every night . I lost my grandmother in 2019 with Dementia. It’s so hard. Grandpa brings me joy n I adore him.
What a special family !!
I wish my mom had been that easy bless her heart . She would not live anywhere but her own home. And we let her. We took turns being with her at her home.
I like to say it's about Dan too because he is a great son to his dad with dementia. Without Dan his father would probably less fortunate.
Both sons have helped with their Dad!
@@jankasza5538 yes, just because Mark doesn’t want to be a you tube star doesn’t mean he doesn’t contribute equally. Danielle really takes a beating from social media.
Don't forget Mark as well.🤗
Lost my mother at 91 in 2017. She suffered from the same exact short term memory loss. She had three sons and we all looked after her in the final years. She had been an RN for 50 plus years. Enjoy your Dad every day. Best!
What nice humans she raised
Nothing is better than a real home care.
I have an elder Mom with short term memory issues.. The repeating over and over again...is exhausting and for me the most difficult part of the whole thing. Some days I am at my wits end. I started walking every morning for 30 minutes...helps me a lot. Have siblings but no help... I am at this 24/7. Anyway I watch daily because I feel we are a family dealing with this. Thank you!!
My best to you friend. 🙏🏾
My heart goes out to you. Please take good care of yourself, what you're doing is hard going and your mom is lucky to have you. God bless you both.
Wishing you the best. My ex husband and I took care of his mom for 11 months. After her husband passed. It wasn't easy. We had promises of help from the other 2 siblings. But we never saw them at all, during that time.
Not until we were exhausted and couldn't go on . We were probably too young and inexperienced.
With 2 young children. She unfortunately got rather dangerously violent.
Grabbed the steering wheel one day, trying to drive the car off an embankment. Because she didn't want to go to the doctors.
That was frightening.
Hang in there if you can. There is also no shame in not being able to do it anymore. 🌻
It's emotionally draining on your own.
It’s not easy but love conquers it all.
Rest assured, your efforts aren’t wasted. God Almighty will enrich your life in more ways than you can imagine.
He is a sweetheart, and his son does a great job with his interactions.
That’s wonderful. How he says “He’s still contributing to our family” meaning that just because someone has an illness doesn’t mean he’s somehow not a quality person anymore.
I love this. I lost my dad to dementia a little over a year ago. He fought for so long. He died young at 68. God rest his soul I miss him everyday
I’m sorry for the loss of your dad. He did die so young. I believe he is in a better place. ❤️🇨🇦
Sorry to here that seems young ..
He was soo young.
I'm sorry for your loss. 🥰
I love Dan and his dad, makes me smile everytime
Dan and Mark.
Grandpa is a very gentle man who cares about every member of his family, who always tries to help his kids. Other than having memory issues, he seems to be very healthy. He has a very good personality, always very patient. That is why people love him so much.
Amazing son God is truly Going to bless him and his whole family for taking care of him and not throwing him and some nursing home
I love that you say your dad is STILL contributing to you all and also that you kept him HOME… safe with family. 🙏‼️🙏‼️🙏
He is a great dad. I just love to watch him.
Master class on being human.... Thank you Dan
This man is such a good person. Patient, loving and a star in his own right!😊
This man has got a kind soul. 🙏
Awesome interview! Grandpa is very charismatic. Much appreciation for Mark, Dan and Daniella.
Absolutely LOVE what he said about his dad still contributing to his life. I can't thank him enough for bringing the raw truth about dementia to light through his precious dad and social media. ❣️
I watch this. You know he was a wonderful dad by the way his children care and love him. Very heartfelt.
The appeal for me is he reminds me of my own Dad who passed away in 2016. My Dad did not have dementia yet he shared the same polite verbiage “pardon me” when hard of hearing, concern for his family, a twinkle in his eye of days gone by. I just love him. He brings my own Dad back to life for me. Great job Dan and Mark, Danielle etc.
Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today.
My sister-in-law rented her home in a gated community to live with her Mother so she wouldn't have to go in a nursing home. She lived to be 102. There is a special place in heaven for these people. I do watch them on tiktok. Both Dad and son have much respect for each other.
There is definitely a special place for them.
Mark & Dan are doing great job taking care of their father and thats how it should be. Thanks for sharing your daily life. I hope many poeple follow your foodsteps and take care of their parents at old age.
You are a lucky son Dan. Even in your fathers state you can tell hes just a great man. I wish we could bottle him up and spread it out on this new generation.
Dan, Grandpa and Danielle are my favorite folks on TikTok!! Can go from a cranky mood to a happy mood as soon as Grandpa hits the screen!!! Our little Georgia family loves y’all! 🥰
I'm from Brazil and I just love to see how you interact with your dad. It's awesome! My dad moved to our house at 86 and first signs of demencia started when he was 90. He lived with us until 97, when he passed away. I do not have any regrets! He lived with us for 11 years and I'm gratefull was able do have him untill the end. On his last years we had nurses, fisiotherapists and different facilities, but he was "at home". All the best to you!
I bet your dad was really a good
podiatrist, he still remember some things as
he did when he was a doctor, that's wonderful.
Oooh I wish he could deal with my plates of meat(feet)
Bringing my Dad into our home, became a gift for our daughter, who got to bond with him, have fun with him, who gleaned wisdom and affirmation from him about some common struggles in life, and who witnessed what it means to be family, to look after one another. Priceless!
Dan, we are all so blessed on how you've been taking good care of your Dad..GOD bless you Dan!🙏🕊
Dan is such a wise and loving person. I totally learn from his videos with his dad, or what I'd like to call a masterclass in being a good human. The golden rule in practice here. Thank you, Dan for letting us know your family and especially Grampa. He is in good hands.
As a former health care provider I have worked with so many people with dementia I really applaud you for your understanding and patience with your dad my heart warms with the way you are so compassionate and caring may God continue to strengthen you and your dad
You could have easily put him in the nursing home, but you Dan and your family would rather take him in your family. Perfect example for us watching you daily.❤
It’s really just grandpa and his loving concern for his family, the fact that he is going through his own battles with dementia, he still cares so much about what his family is doing and if there ok. It’s his love for them
We must not forget that Dan and his wife are the wonderful ones. I have so ,much admiration for both of them. What a great family.
Give yourself some of the credit Dan. You show your Father love, understanding and patience. ❤
I'm in Ontario Canada, and I have fallen for your Dad...lol. First thing I do when I get home from work every evening is watch you guys. I have found comfort during a hard time by watching and listening to your Dad. So heart-warming.❤
I follow them. What a wonderful family. They know how to redirect and take the tough times with humor. Excellent example!
I took care of my Dad with Alzheimer’s also at home. The greatest thing I’ve even done in my life
Kudos to you! 👏
Thank you Dan with your gracious special dad. You and your family are amazing family. May God bless you and your dad in a very special way. Thank you very much 🙏🇼🇸🇬🇧
Dan and Danielle, the world is attracted to your entire family. Seeing how loved your Dad is makes me smile with every post. Thank you guys for sharing.
And Mark….his brother keeps their dad too…let’s not forget him!
Dan, Danielle and Mark such a wonderful family taking care of his dad, loving and supportive I love watching the videos , what a great interview 🥰
Love Grampy Ed - his family...May the Lord wrap his arms around you all.
He is thriving also because the HOME is filled with love, stimulation and endless engagement. I just love his sweet, innocent spirit at this stage of dementia. God bless him🙏🏾🙏🏾💕😊
Grandpa is a magnificent man and has a great family behind him❤
mark and dan take care of their dad so well even with dementia
I RAN INTO DAN'S VIDEOS WITH HIS DAD ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND GET THEM EVERY DAY!! 10 MILLION SO FAR!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!! GOD IS CERTAINLY USING THIS PRECIOUS RETORED DR STORY!! I WILL BE BACK WITH MINE!
My dad had dementia and he was always worried about his check book! That’s what got my attention! Love you keep up the good work😊
The same thing happened with my Dad, he always wanted to go to work and have money in his wallet.🕊
Grandpa is so lovable and your patience with him is absolutely heartwarming. From South Africa 🇿🇦 Loved it when he is amazed that he is 91 but knows that he was born in 1932
"Hes' still making my life better, more fun and is still contributing and helping us." Dan I love that you give well deserved credit to your Dad. Your father is a treasure and you, Danielle and Mark are helping so many people. Best!
I watch Dan and hid Dad all the time. My wife and I took care of her dad who had Alzheimer’s and I can relate to the good and bad of this family’s struggles. It’s never easy, but in the end something I will never change in my family’s life. We all grew a little more because of the experience, Life is fragile Love it while you can.
