Episode 044 - Dementia won’t steal my father's story… with Fermin Whittaker

My dad has advance stage dementia. He can’t carry on a conversation with you for longer than 5 seconds. He no longer knows my wife. He no longer knows his grandchildren. He no longer really remembers anything about his life… But you know what? He is still… Him. I catch glimpses of who he is. There are tiny cracks into his soul that show up like magic every once and a while. But I totally had forgotten about this treasure of a recording I had. When I started noticing his memory problem… I called him and recorded his story. This conversation is 4 years old… And it’s mind blowing how he could never have this conversation now. But I’m so glad I had it with him then. So please enjoy this conversation that may be the most inspiring conversation you have heard in a long time… From my dad, who has dementia… But dementia doesn’t have him… Thanks to our sponsors! https://bit.ly/HHGreenChef130 https://bit.ly/HHAthleticGreens https://bit.ly/HHChime http://www.betterhelp.com/humanhope https://bit.ly/HHAnnieFDowns Learn more about your ad choices.
