Frankie's Changes As An Alzheimer's

Frankie has changed a lot since his memory is deteriorating, He has in some extent transformed into a more decent man.

When I was a kid, I was so scared of Frankie and respected him fully. I would greet him when he came back home and I would never dare to ask him to buy me toys.

My thought at that time was I must respect him so much because he made a living and he fed me . I used to see him a few days only for a few months, he was always outstation as a contractor.Although he didn't scold me and he was quite cold to his children

After he's got memory problem, He has been changing gradually in his personalities and characteristic. He was not as ego as before, the way he socializes to us has also becoming friendlier, and it was great, I felt our bond and closer and tighter now.

He is becoming more dependent on us ever than before, his pride is weaker than before, it makes him more friendly and approachable ever than before. I enjoy my time with him now, chit chatting, playing games with him.

Once, there was a weekend when second sis and I were back home, I was so surprised when he said "Its so great, all the family members are home now." and he repeated in again and again and again. 

Even though it is at the cost of his weak memory, But when I am taking it in this way, I feel better, I hope my mum will feel the same too.
