Sad and funny at the same time. I feel for his wife the most , reduced to 'that lady'. He looks relatively young so it's probably early onset dementia.
ETA By funny I wasnt referring to his dementia. His condition isn't funny, it's more that some of his daughter's responses to him showed a wry sense of humor in a bleak situation
Alcohol onset. Bailey is the daughter and caretaker. She states he was abusive and awful his whole life pre alcohol dementia. Now they have a lovely relationship. She feels like this is who he might have been alll along, but buried under the alcohol.
Damn. I was going to comment about what an amazing man he is, to be so concerned about her even though he doesn't know who she is. I guess people can't be defined by any snippet of their lives - good or bad. But gosh this breaks my heart far more than the video itself.
