My father died peacefully on February 6, 2012. I had arrived a few hours before he died, so I had time to sit by him and talk and even moisten his lips with the long-promised scotch I had with me. I don't know if he heard me, but he smacked his lips from the scotch, My father had Alzheimer's and had donated his brain to the Alzheimer's study he'd been part of at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. I'll continue to post for a while.

he's posing
My father has a few poses for the camera - this is a version of one of them...I know he's feeling okay if he mugs for the camera - because sometimes he doesn't react at all.
I bought my father a few fleece tops since he likes to be cozy. I hope the aides remember to put them on him.
