No not that Jesus; this is a blog about living with my father, Jesus (pronounced: heh-sus). The trouble with Jesus is that he has to live with Alzheimer's Disease; I have to live with Jesus, he's my pop and my new roommate. This blog is about both the frustration and the happiness of living with a man on a daily basis in a sort of role-reversal of sorts. My name is Ricardo and I take care of my pop; what lays ahead - GOD only knows. So let the adventure begin...

Bless your heart....that must have been a hard thing to do for as much as you were caring at home for your Father. I can only imagine. Just when I think about putting my Dad in a nursing home I bawl like a baby.
I watched your story JUST last night on PBS. I so identified with so many things you said. My 91 year old Dad lives with me and my husband in our home in Oklahoma. We built on an addition just for him.
We have never laughed so much as we have since Dad moved in with us. I so identified with the humor that was spoken about in your story. I thought, wow, someone who finds this not just sad, but someone who can laugh at some of the stories that happens. I have not read your blog yet but I will....I have a blog too....been keeping it here in the same place since the day that Dad came home with us from Indiana. Check it out.. http://thecuriouscaseofodie.blogspot.com/ If you need a good laugh you must read some of the stuff my Dad comes up with. He doesn't have Alzheimers. It's dementia related to Parkinson's they tell me. Although I have my doubt about it being Parkinson's but what do Drs know? LOL Oh don't get me started.
I enjoyed your story so much. I watched it before going to sleep and I couldn't stop thinking about emailing you to say how much I enjoyed seeing someone else like me having the same thoughts. You will probably be hearing from me again as I read your blog.
Don't stop blogging....it's good therapy.
Dear Pooka, you made my day! Thank you for your kind thoughts, you have inspired to start writing again, thank you and GOD Bless you and yours now and always!!!
