As many of you know my Dad suffered from Alzheimer’s, and I’ve written of the sometimes funny and insightful things he’d said, or done. Before he went to live in an assisted living home he would totter after mother around their house—he was afraid to let her out of his sight—wherever she went, he went. True to form, Dad followed her when he could . . . he died Sunday, Dec. 14th, less than a month after Mom. (See below, Nov. 29th posting.)
