I saw my dad today and it has been two years. My dad has Huntingtons disease. Since it was a family reunion I was happy to see everyone. But when i walked up I saw him in a wheel chair and looking 10 years older than what he should. I thought i could keep my composure and visit with him, but when i began to talk to him I didn't get much of response just a faint sound coming from him. In two years my father went from being able to talk and walk to being in a wheel chair and only able to make just a little noise. It killed me I had to walk away and I lost it. Now I sit here trying to remember the last time I got to have a conversation with him and I can't remember what it was. Don't ever let a day go by without telling someone that you love them and keep a good relationship if you can. I am loosing my dad to this dreadful disease, just like he lost his mother to it as well. There is no cure for it and it is hereditary.............. Not sure why I wrote this, just felt I needed to.
