Dad just could not remember me today 🥺

- This is the first time Dad just couldn’t place me even after a few hours. He was confusing me with his Sister Linda’s husband David. They used to joke with each other and I believe Dad thought I was David and kidding him by saying he was me. As usual he remembers Danielle.
Dan, although you are smiling and laughing, I know these days are hard for you. Bless you and Danielle for taking great care of Ed. He is a treasure.
Yes! My mother is in Memory Care and she still remembers all of us. This video made me so sad.
It’s the meaning of heartache the first time it happens.
His Dad seems to be in good spirits though. If it was me I would be happy about this. When you love someone it's not about you or if they even remember you, it's about them. If he was angry and hostile then that would of course be much harder. I would be happy if this is the worst he gets. It's really about his happiness not who he remembers.
Yes,this is great to see but also breaks my heart! God bless!
They are great people! It is a great Family,God bless 🙏
This man, in his total confusion - still smiles and has a sense of humor. God Bless!!
It's incredible
Ed’s happy disposition is an enormous blessing. Most people with Alzheimer’s tend to get angry because they’re confused and frustrated but Pop rolls with it. 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
Sooooo true@@brandi66RN
He NEVER forgets Danielle! That speaks volumes. ❤️❤️
Yes dads remember daughters.No offence.Just let him be.love you
He never forgets any woman
You hardly forget the person who feeds you and he loves to eat, lol
Cause she bullies him
He even remembers Joanne the ex wife.
The way he smirks so that you know he thinks you’re full of s*#* is brilliant. He is a gem!
"I don't think you want to be Dan." I love Ed! He has the most positive put-downs of anyone on earth!
He has a sense of humor. For sure
You said better than I!! His sense of humor is hilarious!!!
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
It is heartbreaking assuming he isn’t pulling your leg but I don’t think so. Respectfully it was humorous in a way. But have a salad today Dan and relax.
Drivers license: “Is that me,” Ed says
"Thank you for whatever you're doing for me." So sweet.
He frequently says thank you. That is from his very core, of goodness.
Far too many people show little gratitude.
@@maryshanley329yes I agree. My Dad has dementia. Looked after him for only 6 years after our Mom passed.I so wish I could have been blessed enough to have lived with him longer than three years . Sadly bc of finances I had to stay at my Job so made the difficult choice to place him in care 😢.
What you are doing for your Dad Dan is something you will always be grateful youve done.
Seeing how caring your Dad is reminds me of my own. Always looking out for his loved ones.
Take care . My heart goes out to,you, your Dad and the family. These are not easy times.
What a wonderful man ! I’ve never heard someone with dementia at 92 come back with such clever and funny responses. Ed is a great man
He’s such a sweetheart. “ I don’t think you want to be Dan” Now that’s interesting 😂
It's just amazing how he never ever seems to forget Danielle.
And Josh also❤
He doesn’t forget Danielle because he he has a “thing” for her! Just like he doesn’t forget his first wife Joanne!
Maybe if Dan wore a bikini in the pool, Ed would remember him too!!!
She feeds him, so there's that ❤
That’s what I said!
OMG!!! When he says "your not Dan, you wouldn't want to be him" I laughed hard! What does Ed know that we don't Dan??
😂😂😂
He was probably referring to how hard he knows Dan works.❤
@@MrsBaird-gf1rx of course he is, of course.........
“You don’t wanna be Dan” waooo Dan what is grandpa not saying 😀😀
😅
"You wanna be a son?" 😂😂😂😂😂 I've never seen dementia be so hilarious. Im glad he's happy in spite of it. And peaceful.
Ikr🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious.
And when he says...Boy I got a lot of kids!! 🤣😂
Props to you man I don’t think a lot of people realize how heart breaking it is seeing some you loved slowly forget you but you handle it so positive 🙌🏽props to you my guy you a real one
His memory may be fading But his whit & intelligence REMAINS. 😂😂😂. GOD BLESS ED He sure keeps us laughing. Not at him with him Great Sence of humor Always comes out of a disagreement with a SMILE ❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 mad dimensions cruel man Dan I'm so sorry 😐😐
When he says “Thank you for whatever you do for me” just melted my heart
I actually cried. Something is telling him that they are supporting him.
❤
Just moved my mom in with me after my dad's passing in July. She also has severe memory loss. I learn what to do from you. Thank you ❤
💛
Good luck 🍀
Blessings to You🥰
Heavy metal detox
Stay strong 🫶🏽
"I have to go to the bathroom my son" 😂 He thinks you're just trolling him.😂😂
I love that part😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Uncle Ed is too Adorable❤
This was the best!!
He is so sweet. His smile is worth a million bucks.
“If that was the case!” Lol. “You want to be Dan?” “Whatever works”. lol. Love him
😂😂😂
He never, ever forgets Danielle! Meanwhile, Dan, you just be whoever you wanna be 😂 Glad you kept your spirits up, Dan. ❤
They have a lovely bond. I adored my father in law and it almost killed me to see his decline into dementia. Ed is so fortunate to have the family's loving care.
@@isking1715 Absolutely!
I think pops fukcjng with him xD. Poor dan.
I think Dan is the most loving,Daring and bearing! God bless🙏
@@julietbbaale879 Indeed!
“If you want to be DAN, then that’s fine DAVE!” …lol whatever works!
😂
This! 😅 oh god bless him 🥰
I laughed and cried. It's a hard thing to watch... it brings back memories of my mom
Hahaha! Dan became a cousin, a brother in law, a brother, a father except a son.😂
😂
😂😂😂😂 Right!
😂😂😂 poor Dan
😂😂😂 the most sweet man i ever seen in my life
It can be heartbreaking at times for children if the parents have not a clue who they are 😢
“ you can be who you wanna be “ aww love his precious heart ❤❤❤❤❤
Hahahaha, we love this pair of great human beings.
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Or what my Mom used to say "what ever blow's your skirt " or "whats all the folderol" I miss her essence; I can see her in my daughter's; she had them all summer; she'd organize Tea party's for them ; she taught them English too; after she passed I found a lot of birthday cards; the one's that I missed and wondered why I didn't get a card from my Mom that was a red flag for my Dad and I.
This man is the most pleasant Dementia patient I've seen, he has no triggers just mind fog , his pleasant demeanor is because of the pleasant surrounding that he's in and how he's treated.Dr Ed is always smiling because he feels love regardless of his situation.
Ikr!!!
Amen , Beautiful ❤
So well cared for ❤
He is very polite still.. lovable grandpa… God bless you both
Seriously though...If this is how he is then they are extremely fortunate.
I can tell he is a smart man! He has critical thinking.😘
Dad has the most delightful smile when he's happy.❤
Awwweee 🥺 sad and at the same time, comical. "You don't wana be Dan" and "I have to go to the bathroom, 'my son'"🤣
Same thing I said
😂😂😂😂😂
😂 Same. I have to go to the bathroom, my son. Ed said it so sarcastically you can't help but giggle
Sad not funny
😂😂😂😂
At least he’s pleasantly confused, such a gentleman. 🙏🏼❤️
That's right, he is pleasantly confused. Many are not pleasant and it is incredibly hard to take care of the mean ones and the fighters.
I just love Ed so much. He’s so pleasant and and warm, and has a great sense of humour. He’s such a wonderful person
If that is the case … I love grandpa. He is cracking me up this Friday evening 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂… you want to be a son? I just bumped my head. Have a blessed weekend Family. Thank you Dan and Danielle ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
😂😂😂😂😂" You can be who you wanna be......if that works for you 😂😂😂😂Grandpa Ed, Grandpa Ed
He never forgets Danielle oh my, simply amazing
But he doesn't know how she is related to him... He forgot now nearly everything...
@@proudgrandma1387…. What?
All the tuggies I wouldn't forget either
@@proudgrandma1387… So Eds 2nd wife (who died from cancer) is Danielle’s mom? Making Josh and Danielle 1/2 siblings?
That’s actually kinda neat, or maybe I’m just very confused.
Never forget the abu&ser
He is always so lovely and happy even when he is utterly confused. We all need to live like Ed! ❤❤❤
"OK whatever works" 😂😂😂😂😂 he is so funny!!!!
Even when Ed gets confused about who you are Dan, the looks he gives you convey such incredible love, he knows what you mean to him.
I love him so much. "Oh you wanna be my son? Ok..." And you can tell he's thinking "sure I'll go along with your weird game you psychopath."
Indeed! Like he's thinking "this fells is a little bit unhinged so I'll just humor him" 😂😂😂❤
LOL
WOW I got a lot of kids!! 😆🥰 Absolutely loved hearing him say that!!
When Ed has your ID in his hands and you said your his son, the “Awww!” and sweet smile from him melted my heart. Your dad is just the most beautiful soul!!! ❤
As the video went on I could hear the pain in Dan’s voice, joy when the memory was back. Two things Grandpa will never forget is humor and Danielle. Love to Grandpa Ed ❤️
This one is heartbreaking. I wish all of you the best!
He is so precious. It’s like having a child again. You are so special too!
I Just Love Him, Bless His Heart!!
God Bless.💗🙌🐾🐾
Pop says “ok, whatever works!” 🤣 He’s the best! ❤
Dr. Ed never forgets the women. The moment he hears the names Joanne and Danielle , it starts to make sense to him. Love your videos 😍
Without her consent, support and love Ed wouldn't be there.
He's never stopped loving Joanne, it seems.
Guilt.
That's what I said he never forget the women
Twist: Ed is trolling Dan
"If that was the case...." ***mischievous laugh*** 😂😂
Dan I can’t even imagine how hard this is for you….you deal with it with such grace.
WE'LL I GOTTA GO TAKE A LEAK 😂😂😂😂 GRANDPA LEGENDARY 💯
He’s so so sweet ❤🙏❤️ He’s in disbelief for a moment his heart knows ❤️🙏❤️😊
God bless. I went through this with my dad until he passed. I would give anything to have another day like this with him. Enjoy the time you have and remember to never take anything they say personally.
It is sad to not have your father recognize you, but this exchange was also a little humorous.
Dan, you are a great son.
My Father had Dementia. I cared for him for five year's until his passing. Some day's my father wouldn't remember me. He would tell me he didn't have a daughter. I have five brother's. My father would tell me he didn't have any children. Those were tough moment's. I hope Grandpa Ed came back around today and remembered you Dan. Your a wonderful son. God Bless🙏❤
😅
I love how much Danielle means to him❤
I just love your Dad ❤❤ his dementia does not take away his charm and character
I am positive that you and your family’s interactions with Ed keep him sharp even though he has some bad days I still love your Dad😊
It's probably a day he's remembering you as a child. Show him a childhood picture. God bless you both. DaN, you are a very special son!!❤ Have a good one😊
Love grandpa's smile. He's so adorable.
Bless his ❤️ “ if that was the case” “ you can be whoever you want to be “.
Dan, Love your patience, compassion, and kindness towards your dad….the respect you have for one another is admirable. You have a beautiful bond. God Bless You Both🙏🏼
Thanks Dan for sharing these priceless moments of your Pop. 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
His smile is just everything. God Bless you all !
Dan’s smile is pretty good too!
I had to giggle at the conversation, even though it is heartbreaking. I can relate; my mother had Alzheimer's as well, and she said some funny, funny things over the years. You are a good son, Dan.
"Whatever works Dan"❤😅 I just adore this Mr. Ed. I love this family!
Dan, I understand you and is frustrating at times. My mom would ask me several times who I was and will treat me as a Ms. But when my husband would come in, she would light up like a Christmas tree and call him by his name, at that moment, I felt devastated.
Isn't that something how he always knows who Danielle is.
He always remembers Danielle. Lol
He's got the most beautiful eyes! 💙
What a lovely man your dad is, it's a terrible illness though, but glad you're having a laugh about the situation, your a lovely family and you look after your pops very well.
"For one thing he's not here" - He has such a great sense of humor.
HIS SMILE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, HE IS SUCH A PRECIOUS MAN & HE HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!! THANK YOU DAN FOR SHARING YOU'RE DAD ❤
Love Koko. He’s always near Grandpa. Precious dog.
I just want you guys to know that we absolutely adore you and your relationship with your dad! I lost my mom and dad when I was young and I’d give anything for just one more day with them… I just really enjoy watching your channel and seeing your pop!! Lots of love from McMinnville Oregon
Although he has dementia he is still kind. You are blessed. Not everyone has it that way.
... if that was the case... as he chuckles and walks away
😂😂😂
When you said "closer than a brother" I thought the next question your Dad might ask is "What, are you Jesus?" 😂
Thank you for being so loving and patient, and staying on the funny side of this street ❤
He comes at you with such a big big smile !
It breaks my heart watching these videos. My mother was a picks patient. Dementia is so hard. It took my mother 20 years before she passed. She had great long term memories but couldn't remember anything short term. God bless you and your family for taking care of him. It's only going to get harder. And it can be so frustrating at times. You have a lot of support in your family. I didn't and went through guilt because I needed help. It was so hard. I hate to say it but after 20 years of everything I was so relieved when she finally passed. I did my best. But I didn't have the support with family you have. Thanks for sharing the videos. People really need a better understanding of dementia. It's so hard to lose someone that's still with you. 🤗🤗🤗
I am so sorry you didn't have a good support system with your Mom. My Mom got sick 3 months after I lost my Son to an unknown cause. I could barely breathe but she needed me. We were able to prolong her life by 4 years. After she passed my body and mind collapsed. I now have to use a wheel chair trips outside my home. No one speaks of the toll elder care has on the caregives body.
I understand completely..you lost your mom long before she left physically. My Mom is the same almost 16 yrs.
@@Escort201 I'm praying for you. Take care of yourself. Don't feel guilty. I've gone through unneeded guilt. It's frustrating and hard. Self care and love matters so much. 🤗🙏❤️
@@annsowers4591 it does take a huge toll on us. And people that have never gone through it can't understand. It takes incredibly strong people to go through these things. Consider yourself a super woman. After my mother passed I helped a dialysis patient for 4 years. 4 miles from my house. He passed Oct. 2, 2023. I don't know why I have a heart to help people but I do. It's like today valentines day. I don't celebrate any man made holidays that cause stress and depression. So many people are suffering and need help. You should do something for someone just because not because of a holiday.. All I have to say to people is smile, help someone when you see they need help. Stop being in such a hurry for a job that they will replace you with someone else tomorrow. People matter. I understand people greiving and cemeteries. But there are people alive that are lonely that would love flowers.
I think relief is a common reaction when you’ve watched someone suffering no matter what the cause ❤❤
Heart wrenching!! Love you both!!
He walks real good, and knows when he has to “take a leak”. I love watching ALL Dr. Dad videos. Thanks for sharing.
Ed is cute and smart even in the moment of memory lapse.
Dan, I salute you for your love and limitless patience for your father.❤
Listening to it was really heart wrenching. You are a brave and strong man. Thanks for sharing and making us stronger via your sacrifices.
It was very sad :(
Your dad is just so precious❤
Just came across your channel. My mother has Dementia and several strokes. God Bless you Dan. 🙏 It's tough when you're parent forgets who you are. Keep up the good work Dan.
God keeps account of all your Good deeds, Dan. Every day’s a new experience for your dad. I love the interaction between you both.
Both Dan and grandpa Ed are precious souls....May God bless you two❤❤❤
Do so enjoy following you & your Dad .......my husband has similar problems & I often have to take à breath & carry on so seeing another struggle with patience gives me the lift needed to carry on ...bless you & your postings
Grandpa had guessed all possibly relationship except Son. You got an amazing patience to explain and remind grandpa
When you talk about being his son, his smile was big. Then talking about your siblings, his smile as just as big! He loves you.
Every time he said cousin or brother in law it was a punch in the gut for me. I can only imagine how it feels Dan, my heart is with you
I'm just thinking how these interactions with your dad on your UA-cam channel has contributed to extending his life and in a dignified manner at that. Whereas if the usual approach of putting him in a nursing home, how most people would have done, it would have caused his demise long ago.
God Bless. Your a Good Son!
Thank you for this beautiful video! My husband would smile and show humor like your dad, it's brought a smile to my face. I also video'd some of his funny moments. It has given me joy.
He thinks it's all a joke, but he's up for it. So good-natured , even when the most confused. Older gentlemen in "memory care", are often pretty cranky, I've noticed.
I love how you are able to push through those difficult heart breaking moments. Your family is in my prayers
Ed cracks me up no matter how I'm feeling.you are a great son to take care of your dad.
When Dr. Ed said, "I have a lot of kids....If that were the case." I couldn't stop laughing. He is the best!🤣🤣🤣🥰
I can't believe he even remembers the words "take a leak". 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ahhh🥰 bless Dr. Ed’s heart💙. And, he still keeps a big smile on his face and has a sense of humor about it.
Bless his heart . My dad thought many times I was his sister . Hugs to you both ❤
Thank you Dan for doing a great job taking care of your loving Dad.God will reward you for whatever you do to your Dad
I think you need a hug Dan. God bless you and give you strenght.❤
You're uncredible DAN you're so patient...this is Real love it doesn't matter if memory Lost but your relationship is deeper
I can relate. This is the face of Alzheimer's dementia. Your sweet father reminds me so much of my husband who passed away last October following a three year battle with this vicious disease. There were days when he didn't know where he was and sometimes didn't know me either, it was so so sad to see my brilliant husband brought down like that. God bless.
He still has that great smile and laugh!
Its him smiling that makes my day❤
😁
Dan you are doing a excellent job. My hat's off to you.😊
Your dad is such a blessing. Love to watch him ❤
This is one of his best videos, I have laughed so hard watching this. He is a sweetheart grandpa. Much love ❤
