@@tommas2674 reminding him of his age is not an issue. My husband is about to turn 90, Dec 1933. He has altzheimers and is very much like Ed in looks and actions. He doesn't mind being reminded of his age as he is proud to have gotten this far as one of the eldest remaining family members.
Yes we have, at 91 we are so happy he’s alive and able to communicate, he always ask his son if there is anything he can do for him, even when he’s feeling tired. What a darling. The repetition must be hard for Dan, but he copes well. Good job taking care of your aged daddy, and not putting him in a home, to be lost in the system!
Your father is the only person I can listen to talking about the same things over and over..He is so caring and genuine it truly beautiful. Bless you Ed and Dan and family.
I love when he says, "91!!! I was born in 1932!", like he's trying to convince Dan there's no way he is 91 years old. Love seeing this man on my phone screen....I pray I see him for many more years to come! ❤️#AmericasGrandpa
I love the shock in dad’s voice and face when he hears that he is 91 years old. He keeps me laughing when he says “I’m 91!” Then he scratches his head.❤❤❤
I never get tired of Ed’s repetitive questions. I so admire both you and your families patience with him. Your love and respect for him are his constant companions.
What a great father always asking about his family and what he can do for you guys. I met my dad at 9 he left when I was 3 months my sisters 2 and 3 years old. I forgave him and loved him and he tried to makeup for his mistakes. I still miss him and he’s passed many years ago with many regrets. Believe me they don’t make too many men like your dad - he might have lost his memory but his soul and kind heart seem to be intact.
You have a great father, Sir. At the age of 17 my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and my grandmother later on when i turned 18. I lived with them at the time, and they are all I had. I spent many years taking care of them, but I regret none of it. It was hard to deal wirh such a horrible affliction at such a young age, watching the two people you respect most loose their identity slowly, but there where great times too. A fond memory I had was when one day, my grandmother came up to me and apologized for her delusions and that she knew she was wrong sometimes, but expressed how it was so frustrating to deal with when she believes what she thinks is true. That was certianly one of those rare lapses of sanity in a sea of confusion in her later life. Never loose patience with your father, and always remember that even if it is frustrating at times, they'd do the same for us a thousand times over. It's so kind of you to take care of him in these years of his life, I am 100% certain he understands it as well deep down. I am 24 now, and think about them every day. I experienced many setbacks academically and career wise because of it, but I belive taking care of my grandparents was the nobelest thing I have ever done, that my time with them was invaluable. As a personal note, thank you for posting these experiences with your father, it reminds me of what those days where like to me, and the times that made it more than worth it.
@ferociousforklift2105 - you’re a wonderful grandson! Yes, our lives are put on hold caring for our loved ones, but when you look back on your life later on, you won’t have any regrets when you think oh your grandparents! 🫶🏼
It’s also so nice that his family has it all on tape. Dan also is very patient and will always treasure these moments. God bless you all. Love from Toronto Canada. ❤️
I must admit. I'm addicted to the interactions with Ed. His aura, his presence, is wonderful! It's incredible how he makes one feel, just by following his genuine personality.
Ed, is always concerned with his family. I believe that’s what is helping him, fight off the spells of dementia and keeping his mind strong and focused on family. ❤
Are there really truly enough words to describe the heart and soul of Grandpa Ed? He has captured all of our hearts as he shows us his❤️ Thank you Dan and family for letting us in!
The way he's always concerned about his loved ones is truly amazing. The reality of your clips is humbling. His soul is one of a kind (Your pets confirm his true demeanor) animals sense security, Ed is an example of how that's obviously true.
He's an amazing soul! My dad turned 94yrs young last week. He was born in 1929. The things they've seen in life over those years is mind blowing! God bless your father!
@@rickyanthony He passed the requirements like exam and eye test. It's amazing. Our family has history of long life up to 104. My uncle is one 14 children. His brother is 96 and is a master gardener. 🙂
@@Kittyhawk1214that's great. Some people just cruise along in life and don't have many issues and then there's folks like Ed and my mother. It's hard to understand why some have to suffer.
I love how shocked he is upon once again realizing that he is 91!!!!❤ and is there anything i can do For you before i go to bed? priceless. A true man .
Every time i watch these videos I realise how important it is to be a present father cos there will come a time when the same kids will be the ones taking care of you!
my dad who has dementia was at my son's soccer game the other day. He asked me 15+ times about the score during the game. Each and every time I kept my patience and told him the score with a smile. Dan and Danielle are my heroes and I have learnt a great deal about dementia care watching this channel.❤
Dan, God Bless you for taking care of your sweet father. This is what family is all about. He reminds me of my dad who also had dementia before he passed. God Bless your family ! 🙏❤️
Grandpa just LOVES you Dan❤️❤️ Treasure these conversations so PRICELESS 🥰 You,Danielle,Andrew & Grandpa have a BLESSED SUNDAY✌️❤️ GRANPA just wants to sit and talk❤️❤️❤️
We all love “Grandpa”!! Shout out to Danielle for cleaning the pet beds, feeding the pets, and lovingly caring for them! Dan you are beyond belief for your positive patience with Ed. You never seem to get annoyed at answering the same questions over and over again and that is so heartwarming, you are so WELL ADJUSTED and you have such a great sense of humor, as does Danielle. I loved the cardboard cut out of “Miriam” and the hat Danielle put on her and your pointing out the pig to Ed as you kept talking to the pig “manapig, manapig”. I love you guys and love that you love animals. You definitely make the world a better place.🐖🐽🐈🐈⬛🐕
Your dad has my father’s eyes and personality. He says is there anything I can do for you before I go to bed. Ed always wants to be useful. There is a very special place in my heart for all of you.❤
I have the utmost respect for you and your brother. I worked with similar patients for a long time. Your father is very fortunate to have you all in his life. It takes a lot of love to do what you are all doing. ❤
I love to see people take care of their parents like the parents took care of them. A blessing and beautiful to see him doing well. May God continue to bless him ❤
Swear I come to check on your dad everyday..amazing how so many peoole love watching your family..go get some rest grandpa...I'm 50 and I'm tired too .
Your Dad is so kind. Always ask if anything he can do for you. Because you & family take such good care of him, he still has his a younger the 91 mind.
Hey Dan🎉🎉🎉 👋🏼 I'm sure this comment will get buried. I started watching you and your family about a 6monyhs ago and fell in love. Recently my MRI revealed my epilepsy has been busy and I show on my scans signs of dementia and memory loss. You all give me hope. I'm only 36 and I have a 13yr old daughter but I'm praying for this connection and to be sharp like your dad with the rapid decline. Thanks for sharing everything with the world. You all touched my heart here in Saint Louis, Missouri. ⭐⭐💛💛
My youngest turned 21 yesterday (Aug 19). Seems that Andrew may share her birthday as well. He makes the second person who shares that birthday. Go on to bed, Grandpa Ed. Relax and enjoy! God Bless 🥰
I Absolutely am INSPIRED EVERYDAY by Papi. He’s SO Precious….. He Is SO LUVING and Kind! He Luvs His Family and is ALWAYS Concerned about EVERY One of You! He helps me to be Encouraged to ENJOY Life No matter What We ALL May be Facing! Beautiful Luving Family! Luv Papi’s Giggles🤣❤️
My uncle at 84 has mild case of dementia we just started dealing with this … they way you handle your father helps me understand what we’re dealing with.. thank you for letting us into your home god bless ..
He’s 91, tired, but keeps asking how everyone is doing and still wants to help. What a man!!!
That's the old folks, 😊
❤ So Caring
maybe a little less reminding him of his age.
Watching at Singapore

I think it's so sweet how Ed often asks, "Is there anything I can do for you before I go to bed?" God bless and keep him.
He has a kind & caring soul.
I think its quite wonderful when he asked about any drama like he was looking for some excitement
@@est727xx5Sounds like me at work looking for gossip. 😅
He is such a blessed man I love watching him 😅.
Ed is an example for all of us! His real self shines through his memory loss.
He is a great man.
The way he says, "I was born in 1932!" ...never gets old 😂
I was waiting for it, lol
Love 😂his question I Am 91?
🥰😆😆😆
Never
He ever forget his date of birth
Grandpa may not remember his age, but he always remembers the year he was born ❤❤
That's normal. People lose short-term memory faster than long term-memory. If you forgot something a second or a minute ago, that's the sign.
I love when he says, "91!!! I was born in 1932!", like he's trying to convince Dan there's no way he is 91 years old. Love seeing this man on my phone screen....I pray I see him for many more years to come! ❤️#AmericasGrandpa

91 and in the throes of dementia/memory loss , yet he has the strongest sense of family that I’ve ever seen , I just adore all of his 91 yrs 🫶🏼🤍🙏🏼
❤
I never get tired of Ed’s repetitive questions. I so admire both you and your families patience with him. Your love and respect for him are his constant companions.
Many folks shove there loved ones in a nursing home. God bless you for taking care of dad.
God Bless this family
You are blessed for having a 91 year old loving and caring father with you. God bless your family.

Grandpa is such a loving soul. His surprise of hearing his age makes me smile. He has a youthful spirit! Happy Birthday, Andrew!! ❤
It’s the same reaction the same surprise I think I’ve seen him four times now say “I’m 91!!??” Lol

Wow super grateful He still asks what can I do for you before going to bed soooo lovely
I love when he comes and sit at the foot of the bed for one of his little chats. Treasure these moments.
❤
Amen 🙏🏽
I love it too. He's always so concerned and interested in how each of his children are. So sweet!!!
Such a thoughtful man❤
It’s also so nice that his family has it all on tape. Dan also is very patient and will always treasure these moments. God bless you all. Love from Toronto Canada. ❤️
His suprise at being 91 makes me smile ALL THE TIME 😊
Same here😂❤
Yes, same here😊❤️ that means he is still young at heart 👌🏼
Grandpa is a great conversationist. He needs more people to socialize with.
ALL THE TIMES ⏲️. HIS AGE COME UP TO HIM WHY ????
“I’m lucky to be around” what a sweetheart 🩵
I must admit. I'm addicted to the interactions with Ed.
His aura, his presence, is wonderful! It's incredible how he makes one feel, just by following his genuine personality.
I agree he's so endearing, he's the only person I can listen to say the same things over and over!
Ed, is always concerned with his family. I believe that’s what is helping him, fight off the spells of dementia and keeping his mind strong and focused on family. ❤
I don't even know this man, but I can sense he is and was a good person and his family is a reflection of that. Bless you all.
Hes the sweetest man , nice distractions for him with all the animals.
Are there really truly enough words to describe the heart and soul of Grandpa Ed? He has captured all of our hearts as he shows us his❤️
Thank you Dan and family for letting us in!
I agree 100%. A beautiful example of what love looks like in 2023❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The way he's always concerned about his loved ones is truly amazing. The reality of your clips is humbling. His soul is one of a kind
(Your pets confirm his true demeanor) animals sense security, Ed is an example of how that's obviously true.
Born in 1932 just in case you need to calculate...
Very well said. 🧡
Amen!!🙏❤️ He is now America’s favorite Grandpa!!❤❤❤
He is the absolute best. “Is anything dramatic coming around?” Love his questions.
He wants the scoops. 😂
I love how he always asks how everyone else is and if he can do anything for anyone. He’s amazing.
May God bless you for taking care of grandpa.❤❤❤❤
He's an amazing soul! My dad turned 94yrs young last week. He was born in 1929. The things they've seen in life over those years is mind blowing! God bless your father!
He'd be disgusted if he was aware of the shape this country was in.
My uncle will be 95 next month and he still drives and fixed a plumbing problem just the other day. No signs of senility. 😊
@@Kittyhawk1214Don't they take licenses away at that age?
