Catching up

First a very brief update on my dad. The current diagnosis for what he is faced with is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. It is absolutely terrible watching him go through the rapid changes this is bringing. I've spent the most of the last two weeks with him trying to get the most out of the remaining good times he will have. I've had a hard time coming to grips with this, but the last two weeks have helped me some what. For now we have chosen to not even tell him anything about this and just take advantage of the remaining time we have.
A few years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. For now he believes the things he is experiencing are complications of that. I have lots more to say about this good man who has helped me shape my life and will likely incorporate some of that over time. Please bear with me as I work through all of this.
