Happy Fatters Day

      I asked my loving husband to read aloud a fathers day card that had just arrived. He read happy fatters day (in pale text).  “Is it a joke?” he asked.

There are no jokes with dementia, words have lost their meaning and only confusion endures.  I had reminded him that his special day was coming.

My explanation had no meaning so he didn’t remember.   Father’s Day, oh yeah. So sad.
