He really stepped up to the plate, didn’t he? He had someone in his youth who really taught him what being a man really was. He’s an impressive young man!
Maria’s son spoke so special about his mom. Any mother would love to be thought of so highly. Ronnie’s Dad is a wonderful young man too ❤️. What a special episode
My 84 yr old Dad, a very smart man, is now entering dementia, complicated with kidney cancer and heart disease. I can't be with him, as I am ill myself and in another city. We talk on the phone. I keep letting him know that he is a great Dad and I love him.
I was my Dad's caregiver for over 8 years until he passed away at 99. I was very lucky in that he was a gem to care for. The last year of his life was tough for both of us as his health declined. He had dementia. The problem was that he would become agitated, angry. But I knew that that was not my Dad who I loved and adored. He passed three years ago. I think of him everyday.
Kalum is right. Being a father is much more than just contributing half of a child's DNA. It was a good thing to have met his biological father and an even better thing to have realised that his real dad was actually his stepfather. Kalum has become all the things a good dad should be and clearly loves his rôle as parent to his own son. And Ronnie IS his own son by any and every definition.
My mother had dementia in her later years but lived until 104 , sometimes she would remember times when she was young & I loved those times. I miss her now & treasure those memories ❤
33:45 Dementia is also known as "the Long Goodbye". It's tragically sad and in most cases, so drawn out and painful, that by the time our loved one dies, it's a blessing to everyone.
I worked with dementia patients for over 2 decades as a nursing attendant, and saw the havoc this wreaked on families 😢 It is such a horrendous disease.
lost my grandma coming up on two years ago.... It's such a a cruel heartbreaking loong disease. I'm so glad that great grandbaby even though it's incredibly painful knows him.
Wonderful people. My 94 yr old mother has dementia and it's so hard watching her decline slowly. I feel so blessed though to still have my mom at my 68 yrs.
Fiona is a godsend to her grandfather; she is the light her grandfather needs. My grandma had dementia and it was gut wrenching to watching her decline. She went from mild memory issues, to forgetting she had turned on the stove or bath, forgetting her family, to forgetting who she was. This disease robs a family twice of their loved one. Its cruel.
I feel for the gentleman with dementia..I just found out my dad has it..mom has been gone for about 27 years,and it feels as though am losing her all over.
Watching Ronald and his Family, I can relate. My Mom suffers from Dementia and there are times she doesn't know me. It hurts so much, my Grandmother suffered from it too and forgot me as well. I know its the disease, but the family suffers as well. It's hard to watch and very hard to be a part of. Family is everything, weather they remember or not.
FYI, that's not a PICC line. That's an HD catheter or CVC. It's not inserted peripherally, there for it is not a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter. Just because they look the same, does not make them the same. PICC is NEVER used for dialysis.
I despise cell phones. I, of course have one but I hate the way people, especially younger people, spend all their time staring at that damned little screen; oblivious to everything around them. Parents hand the phone over to their toddlers to keep them quiet & occupied rather than talking to their little ones or reading to them. There is so much to see all around us and much to share with our small children. Call me out of step or old fashioned if you will but I think for all the good that cell phones have brought into our lives, there are a great deal of negatives. That young girl, great grand daughter, sitting by her grandad’s bed has her eyes glued to the phone screen. Sad. I think. Very sad. On the other granddaughter Fiona is marvelous and understands & appreciates get grand dad & the time she shares with him. It’s horrible, dementia is. Totally heartbreaking. I lost my Mum little by little to Alzheimer’s and it was devastating. Hugs to this family.
24 hours in A and E was so much better when they spent more time in the actual hospital and less time searching out everyone's emo back story. It's so repetitive.

When I was in Germany for 3 yrs I saw kids on their way to kindergarten with binkys in their mouths. Europeans aren't in a rush for their babies to grow up like Americans are!
@joannbowden6220 exactly...Let babies be babies...My grandson had one til he went to school..." He'll ruin his speech," they said. " He won't be able to talk properly " .. Claptrap. He threw it away when he was ready and he talks just fine .
@@meatavoreNanaMy son loved his soothers too. 😀 I agree with you, it’s not a big deal. People are so judgemental about them, when they do not have any right to be.
My Dad at age 88 was diagnosed with a brain tumor and passed away 2 months later. Another health event that robs you (and everyone around you) of yourself…..❤❤❤
I really hope Fiona starts caring for herself, too. Smoking and being overweight is just dangerous. I struggle with my weight too. It's hard, but self care is important.
God Ronald had me in tears, reminds me so much of my Nana who had the same condition...she even forgot my name, it was devastating....but to her, family was EVERYTHING.
Alzheimer’s is a terrible way to go. We had to repeatedly tell my mom that her husband was at work because she didn’t remember he had died. She asked for him many times a day and was constantly worried.
This show really knows how to pull on the heart strings. It's so nice just to hear the stories. It makes you appreciate the time you have with those you love.
