Poppa Sol and Me: A Family Alzheimer's Story

This is a story of a father lost to Alzheimer’s. It is a story of a son’s transformation from grief to growth in his on-going effort to have a meaningful relationship with his father. The sadness at the loss of this man includes poignant and funny moments when his sweetness unexpectedly emerged.

Before we knew what was happening with Poppa Sol, before we knew what we were up against, before the diagnosis and the doctors, before the devastation of dementia, before the incontinence, sexual misconduct and outbursts of anger, before the escapes from the adult day care center and the nursing home, he was just my dad.
