- Do you or a loved one have FTD (Frontotemporal Dementia)?
Follow my Dad and his journey as he deals with this disease. The hope is to have a open forum where we not only talk about how FTD has impacted his life, but also our family's lives and to also answer questions that others might have or a topic that they would like more information on. Our goal is to bring awareness to FTD by providing an inside look into our lives from all perspectives.
During this video my Dad and I talked about the following:
Dad’s reaction to people watching his videos
Talk about his day and week
What he did before being diagnosed with FTD
His favorite memory about his job
How he felt when he first got diagnosed
What he likes to do
Why he can’t leave the house on his own anymore to take walks in the park and how he brought home a homeless home
Dad talks about his pets
Favorite music group - The Beetles
His wife and children’s names
Who Dad’s favorite superhero
Answered Question - Why do you talk to your Dad like he is a child?
Thank you for taking time to watch!

You have the patience of a saint, you speak very well to your Dad, he understands you. You have to change your speech as they change don’t let the nay sayer bother you, you are doing a excellent job. I’m 79 a widow, I live in a seniors assisted living I see dementia in many forms daily, it effects people differently that surprised me. Bless wishes
Thank you . And Your Dad is wonderful and so are you Sandy .💗💙
I like your videos, I texted you before about my father in law and he had dementia well he passed away early this morning with my mother in law by his side and their son my husband. He was at peace and a few days before he told my husband " its ok i will be alright " . You are still in my prayers. Take care.
Awe thank you! I am so sorry for the delayed response. I haven't really been on UA-cam much in the last year because I became a full-time caregiver to my Mom who has some brain damage from a carbon monoxide leak. I am still helping with my Dad part-time. I am so sorry about your father in law!
He is so sweet.
He’s adorable ☺️ god bless you both 💕
