I planned a trip to Medford Oregon to attend our annual Ohana camping event.
But I didn't plan on meeting up with my Dad and brother at the airport on my layover.
So it was a huge surprise when I discovered that we were at the same gate for the same plane.
My dad suffers from Alzheimer's disease and dementia, so I didn't expect him to know me at all.
But when I was talking to the air attendant, I kind of heard my name and glanced back at my dad and brother.
My brother told me that dad recognizes me.. I looked at my dad with tears welling up in his eyes and tells me that he's happy to see me. ❤️
The event was short lived because his condition is so advanced, but none the less it was eventful.
During camp and on our way home at the airport, my dad had much to say about many things and we randomly talked about all kinds of stuff.
We had a nice lunch at the Medford airport and exchanged laughter about the little things just like old times.
I still miss the way my dad was from before, but I'll take any time I have with him while I can.
Mahalo and Aloha 🤙🏽
