My Dad was an amazing Dad, husband, grandad & great grandad, the life & sole of any party. He loved to make everyone laugh, do anything to help anyone and play jokes on people. Even now we laugh at his antics. unfortunately  he lost his fight against this cruel, and volatile disease, just a few weeks back. We miss him every single day. It was the most awful thing to see. My dad disappearing in front of our eyes, and seeing him disappearing inside of himself, and his eyes becoming empty. The day he didn't remember my name, we made into a joke for him which he found hilarious, and from that day on I became coco to him. My dad was in an amazing care home where he loved them all & and them him. He always danced with the girls & tried singing along. Eventually we could see him getting tired. He fought so hard, and until he had no fight left him. My mum & I was with him right till the end, when he fell asleep for ever. 

I am doing this walk in memory of my dad.  I have to hope it will help bring awareness of this awful disease & one day a cure will be found & and others can be saved from a life with Alziemers &  suffering. 

It is heart breaking not having my dad around to make me laugh and to talk to when I need to, but deep inside I know he is at peace, and away from the cruel, debilitating disease, which he fought so hard against and which finally took him away from us. We know that he would never have wanted to live how his life become. 

Now we have lots of memories to remind us of this lovely man, that we miss so much. We laugh & smile at the memories,  but also we cry because we miss him so much.
