This is a story about my father's struggle with Early-Onset Alzheimer's. We were living the American dream. My father ran his own business; we went on annual family vacations; I had a happy childhood. Then, one day in his late fifties, my father started having episodes of repeated conversations and forgetfulness. In a true story reminiscent of Lisa Genova's novel Still Alice, we shockingly came to find out my father had Early-Onset Alzheimer's.As he traversed down the rabbit hole into a downward spiral, we learned to cope with the bad times and embraced and appreciated the good times.This book is for the caregivers and loved ones of those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It is my hope that my story will encourage you and buoy you forward.
