My Dad had Alzheimers. We were lucky that it was a late onset, and he never got to the point of forgetting us. When he died at age 86 of congestive heart failure, he was just starting to slip in really noticeable ways.
I made this virtual patch in memory of my dad. He was a great guy, and so loving and sweet and funny. I miss him a lot!

I've been thinking about this too. My grandfather died of Alzheimer's. I've just issued a challenge to make a quilt for the AAQI - come over and check it out.
I was a bit weepy at church today...I was missing my dad...he was not inflicted with Alzheimer's but with cancer... Your father sounds like a wonderful dad...
