Last year, Julie Bick’s dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. With the diagnosis coming only one year after her mother died, the news was a devastating blow.
But this time, Julie told herself she would do whatever it took to make the most of her time left with her father.
“I never was able to spend much time with my mother as her passing was sudden,” she told Love What Matters. “I let life get in the way of making time for my mother and I refuse to let life get in the way of me spending these last moments with my father.”
The single mother of two decided to move in with her dad in order to tend to his increasing needs as his memory slowly began to fail him. It was painful to watch her father’s condition get worse, as Julie was forced to take away his truck keys, and stop him from doing everyday things like mowing the lawn and taking his medications.
