That's his conscience coming out. Dementia can effect a lot of things, but it can't effect your spirit. I have seen this with people with dementia. there motor skills maybe slipping, but inside they are still the same person that they always were and every so often you see glimpses of that come out through their conscience. His compassion and concern for his ex wife after being divorced for 45 years was a sub conscience reaction.
@Dan and Dad......just wanted to say ....TY for sharing your stories with us !!!!! You both are two amazing men !!!! I love to see Dad happy and the way he cares for everyone is AWESOME !!! I LOVE TO SEE HIM SMILE !!!!! Im sooo glad i found your channel ... Much love and respect !!! ❤❤
Oh my God, how does it feel to have someone to care about you like he cares about his wife. This man is so genuine in caring about his entire family no matter what the situation is. It gives me hope. This is how men used to care of their families. Some still do and I’m happy for them. His family loves him and he loves them. 🙏🏾☮️❤
Been there for my dad, kept him during hospice in my home, and my mom until I passed out caring for her while working full time and having my own medical issues. They were married for 63 years. It’s a hard journey. My daughter told me my family wondered how long I thought I could handle the stress caring for them alone. Everything the Salingers experience, I can testify as a witness 1000%. Hats off to the children.
I’ve said it before, dementia can’t rob anything from your true soul!! His love and concern can’t be taken away!! What a precious,precious man!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Reminds me od my soon to be ex father in law. Divorced from my wifes mom for years but still cared about her and willing to provide for her right up to the day she died 3 years ago.
This really showed me that the heart loves who it loves even if the brain can get in the way and then u get other people u love there will always be that one true love.
@@yoraray9998well…if he did a very crappy thing then…that stinks…but he still cares. And he ended up alone (other than his kids) so karma made him a bachelor I guess. Still has a decent heart despite his younger transgressions.
@@darrenross1807 - *They are divorced for 45 years plus. He married again, and had Josh, but she passed at some point in time, and he doesn't remember her. He only remembers Joanne, his first wife that gave him 5 children. Dan is his first baby, Josh is his 2nd baby by his second wife. You got it now?*
It just shows the kind of man he was before his mind was affected by dementia. In his struggle he still remembers the responsibilities he used to have and wants to fulfill them. A true man of honor.
The older generation had such a different sense of priorities and care when it came to family. Ed is such a decent and loving man, family is first with him.
The most warming part of your videos.... is knowing that this is who he is in the raw. The care he shows for his family, even divorced is wonderful. He wants every one to be ok... its beautiful.
Even though he has dementia, his true character shines through. Grampa is always concerned about paying his bills and how he is going to help his family. He was brought up right, and he did the same for his children. He never says, who's going to give me money, who's going to pay my bills, who's going to take care of me and my family. We could all learn from this man, he obviously believed in taking care of his own, not begging for handouts.
He is such a lovely person to be worried about Joanne worrying about money after all these years ❤️. And the fact that he's showing us what it is to age gracefully with the loving care of a wonderful family. You're a great example to us all Salingers. 🥰
Your Dad is such a respectful man. His concern about your mom even though they've been divorced for decades is admirable. I definitely get a sense of the man he's been over the years ❤
It's DEMENTIA... it has zero reflection of his personality before the disease.. personality change and irrational worry are Hallmark symptoms of DEMENTIA
Hi Dan, When you said, "You have no idea how much you are helping right now. You are a giant help, Dad." it really struck me. I've been watching your journey and that statement could not be more true. Witnessing Grandpa and your family has made me laugh, cry, and think about what it means to be a family and cherish those around us. Thank you for sharing your life with us
Dad s you tube views generating moneys. Is this not a financial abuse as dad has not have capacity to make wise decisions due to his illness. And his behaviour always shows that he is not happy living there. He wants his house. Car ,he needs to be in control
Dan is just so patient and kind even when he's repeated the same thing to him a million times he still answers him and tries to comfort him. And his dad is so sweet and loves his family so much.... Even his ex wife! What a sweetheart.
What a special human being Dr Salinger is. Watching his interactions with Dan always bring a smile to my face. Thank god Dementia hasn’t robbed him of his true character.
My husband’s dementia appeared about 2 years ago which necessitated him giving up on practicing medicine. It’s been a challenging time for both of us. I’m trying to learn from Dan (my husband’s name, too) about dealing with this terrible condition and what it does to the person you love. I’m not very patient and Dan’s treatment of Ed is something I strive to emulate. Thanks, Dan, for teaching me about patience. I only hope I do half as well as you.
Nancy you can do this. It's hard to watch your loved one struggle with dementia. You need to be sure to take time out for yourself also. The fact your husband has someone that loves him caring for him already puts him in a very blessed place.
Dan is doing great but even he and Danielle mention that they were not as patient in early videos. It took time. They also have a village of RESPONSIBLE family adults to care for Ed TOGETHER. So, if you’re the primary 24/7 caregiver, you need support because elder care is hard. Keep in mind your patience would grow too if America was watching 😉
Ed remains concerned about Joanne and how she will manage financially. Despite his dementia he cares about his family. He is a wonderful person 😊 and his family are so good to Ed. ❤❤
What a wonderful responsible man. There aren’t good men like him anymore. Even at his age, he wants to contribute. He is also a great communicator. Thank you Dan for talking with him and being patient with him. He was patient with you when you were a baby too. ❤️
He is a indeed a dying breed. My dad passed healthy in his sleep at 86 and I would have loved to have him around longer because growing up he was a workaholic and not present but I thought when he got way up in age I'd have that window for his presence but he passed gently in his sleep and left this still as a stranger to me. He was a sweet spirited man though.
He loves Joanne. I hope she knows how much he worries and cares about her. 💜 I love his facial expressions when Dan is telling him not to worry. Cracks me up. He looks like he’s being sold a used car.
I can't stop listening to your Dad. He is a caring , positive and a family man. Even if they are divorced, he still cares about her. What an amazing man. You must be proud of him.
Dan...I'm hungry!! 😂 He is such a gem!! Dan... Thank you for being so patient with your dad!! No doubt it is difficult, but you are doing such a great job of helping your dad feel comfortable and loved !! ❤ 😢 ❤ May God Bless you all ! 🙏
I love Ed's t-shirt!!! Cool. Such a sweet elderly dad. So concerned and worried about his kids and JoAnn. Love these videos! Cherish your time with him Dan and family.
My sister who is a doctor once told me that when we get old, our hidden thoughts will be the once that we will mostly talk about. I admire your father for being such a gentle and kind soul. I know nobody is perfect and he might have made mistakes here and there, but now that he is this age, it is very evident that his love for his family including his ex-wife is ginormous. Amazing man. Amazing.
I love this grandpa, he's always thinking about his family and concerns about everyone. He's an amazing person. Love you Grandpa and keep Thriving ❤ ❤❤
I love this gentleman and most intelligent regardless of dementia. He has grown above any medical conditions and still loves his family so much. Thank you, Dan, for hanging out with Dad and making his life richer. You and your brothers are truly blessed. I watch your videos always. The Lord is your strength. Best wishes!
He is rare and the genuine article! The pure intention of his heart is priceless and beyond rare! ❤❤ I watch his videos as my Dad is gone but was born in 1933, a year after.
Very encouraging to others.. not all children stand beside there elder parents with such love n pride.. especially if they have health issues such as these...commendable that dan and his siblings arent putting dad in a memory care home .... hugs to you and all of your siblings w shouldering & sharing the labors of love, respect, and honoring your mom & dad... its not a easy task at times...as we can all see...
His adorable ☺️ what a lovely human being dementia has not changed his amazing and truly kind character. Wonderful kids taking care of dad beautiful family. God bless!
Dad still LOVES Mom soooo much! He enjoys talking with Dan! Dan, Thank You for loving and taking care of your Dad the way you do and for sharing him with the world! 🥰
What a sweetheart. I wish all men were raised as well as your dad. He's so polite and has wonderful manners. He is the type of guy a woman can look up to. God bless you, Ed!!! You created a great family.
🥲 Oh Grandpa Ed ❤ You can tell that he worries about his children and grandchildren SO MUCH ❤ IT goes to show you that NOT ONLY was he a Podiatrist, he had a beautiful family ❤ Your completely correct Dan , He does add ALOT to this ❤
I wish more men had your dad as a role model and hopefully through these videos you'll help some of the younger generation of men understand what it means to be a man. Your dad feeling responsibility towards your mother even after he understands they are no longer together, is an old feeling that is being relived because the concept of time is escaping him. It's not about how he feels now, it's about the fact that these feelings now are a clear mirror of feelings he has had his entire life and are more unfiltered now. I've worked with dementia patients and they're not all this kind. You get to see who the person truly is deep down inside, once their mind starts to be stripped down; and your dad's mind was and still is a beautiful one. May he continue to enjoy the rest of his days with family as he deserves to
Dr. Ed leaves me speechless every time I watch these videos . This one hit home and brought me to tears . His concern first his ex wife is genuine. His love for the entire family is unmatched. Love Dr. Ed ❤️
Im in tears again your dad is full of goodness and you inherited that may God and Jesus bless you all forever for those beautiful qualities dear family Carol
I found your video and became a fan of you and your dad. My dad was 94 when he pass away and, like you, I enjoyed talking to my dad who also had mild Alzheimer. Your dad is awesome. You are a caring son. God bless you.
This man is totally 24k gold . Love his thoughts ,his concerns about his love ones. You guys are blessed to have such a wonderful dad. May GOD bless him n his family. You guys are earning heaven . Stay safe .lots of love from NEW Jersey ❤️
He's so responsible...such a great generation. When men were men. I hope Sir Ed enjoys his retirement, he deserves it. "She'll be after me for money too". Sir Ed is so funny at times. 😅 "I'll be ready to eat my dinner". I love Sir Ed he's awesome.
Here I'm dealing with an ex who is fighting hard not to support his young kids while this frail man is still worried. His gold heart always shines amidst his disease.
45 years and HE still deeply cares, in all the mist he knows that Joan is good person.I am in South Africa ,hope. love you Grandpa To Dan and Mark may the strenght be grated to you guys today and everday.Daniella you are a good woman💪💪💪
Awwwwee Grandpa's the SWEETEST!!!!! 🤣 "She'll be after me for money"🤣 He knows he had alot of kids! 🥰 Dan, you are doing something SO VERY special, to capture his 'real life' on camera!!!! For years and years to come! And this can be so useful for this disease! 🤗 I hate calling it a "disease" tho.
I love Ed. He is totally my dad who passed on 12/11/2020 from dementia. Empathic, kind, generous, loving and super duper adorable. ❤ hugs to Ed. He has helped me with my grief, thank you kindly. I appreciate the 4 o'clock moment. He also makes me giggle.
Divorced for 45 years and still worrying about the ex's financial situation. What a sweetheart of a guy.💙
This man beats my imagination. A genuinely concerned dad.
Maybe he think it happen yesterday or he dont remember the divorce part, my father almost the same,
He’s so caring about everybody. He loves to eat and that’s great.
What a doll he is❤❤
I know he's a sweetheart ❤️ love Ed wonderful man xo
My favorite part is when he still doesn't believe what Dan tells him, but gives up and says, "I hope you're right, Dan."
Wow!! He still worries about her! That's so amazing
He doesn't even believe Dan about the time. 😂
@@susanlawless1168Just beautiful
I like the way he sort of gives in , looks at his elbow and then says oh alright … 😂😂❤
Bless his cotton socks 😊
I can't help wondering what he was like before Alzheimers. He seems so concerned about everyone.
I died when he said, "She'll be after me, too!"
This man is such a caretaker and protector. He is a giant help.
I agree dads comment is very funny...😅 gotta love this dad
That was hilarious, such a sweetheart, but telling it like he sees it😅
😂
Me too! That is a long out loud moment! Darling Ed is keeping it real😂😂
I totally understand this conversation and so many others. It is so hard to see our parents go through this.
I wish every dad has a son like him❤
BRAVO SON.
He's so concerned for everyone's wellbeing
It's amazing that at his age he still wants to fulfill his purpose. I could tell he was a hard working family man.
I agree with you. That's love.

It's not about how he feels now, it's about the fact that these feelings now are a clear mirror of feelings he has had his entire life and are more unfiltered now. I've worked with dementia patients and they're not all this kind. You get to see who the person truly is deep down inside, once their mind starts to be stripped down; and your dad's mind was and still is a beautiful one. May he continue to enjoy the rest of his days with family as he deserves to
What it means to be a man 😂
Amen, he is truly a good man, i wish there are still many more good gentlemen like him.
Well men will be men when women start acting like women.

I found your video and became a fan of you and your dad. My dad was 94 when he pass away and, like you, I enjoyed talking to my dad who also had mild Alzheimer. Your dad is awesome. You are a caring son. God bless you.

He's so responsible...such a great generation. When men were men. I hope Sir Ed enjoys his retirement, he deserves it.
"She'll be after me for money too". Sir Ed is so funny at times. 😅 "I'll be ready to eat my dinner". I love Sir Ed he's awesome.

Every woman needs a man like this. Someone who worries even after they've divorced.
I love Ed. He is totally my dad who passed on 12/11/2020 from dementia. Empathic, kind, generous, loving and super duper adorable. ❤ hugs to Ed. He has helped me with my grief, thank you kindly.
I appreciate the 4 o'clock moment. He also makes me giggle.
