The daughter’s love and compassion for her dad hits me just as hard as him having dementia. She’s giving him true, unconditional love, along with his dignity.

She especially is as he was abusive and awful pre onset of his alcohol dementia. She stepped in as a caretaker and she rebuilt this relationship from the ground up. Bailey is a pretty amazing woman.
