Confirming you know it is a disease and making sure he knows you all know he isn’t to blame for anything is perfect.

God bless him He almost exactly like my dad was.. its been 4 years it’s still just like yesterday. My dad weighed about 85lb when he passed his body just forgot how to chew and swallow he never forgot how to pray and he never forgot my mother. The day before he past she climbed up in bed behind with him for the last timeout her arms around him kissed him on the cheek without opening his eyes he grabbed her hands patted them and said o momma I sure do love you she said poppa I sure love you even more than over 50 years ago. That was the last words he spoke to any of us. They had 7 kids and he forgot us long before but never forgot our mother.(MOMMA)

Most heart wrenching disease...my mom had this horrible disease..lasted 10 years...the long goodbye...it’s like you grieve during the disease..then grieving when they pass...it was devastating but we stood strong and learned a lot about Alzheimer’s...from stage one to end stage 😢😢😢😢

Sending love to you all from the UK, my Dad died from Parkinson’s disease and my Mum has Alzheimer’s 💕

This is heartbreaking to watch. My hubby suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s, and I do mean suffered. He knew what was happening to him every step of the way and knew the future. He had watched his mother go through to the end. H e was blessed to not have to go through more than the first 18 months after diagnosis.

Amazing documentary. Thank you for sharing the love, the pain, the joys, the sadness, the reality of AD. God bless you and your family.

What an emotional story. You did a great job. What a great Dad! And what a wonderful family! God be with you and yours. Your Mom did a beautiful job with the love of her life. Tragic and moving story. Thank you so much for sharing. By the way, you have a fantastic voice for making videos. Again, thank you.

The dog knows he is getting sick, it feels the personality changes.

Have been going through this with my mom for 5+ years, the most heartbreaking disease ever💔. Thank you for sharing your story and showing us caregivers life through your journey too. You’re such an amazing family❤

Such a cruel disease. Aging presents it's own complex challenges but I dread this disease. If I was given a choice between cancer and this I would choose cancer. Excellent documentary. No matter the healthcare system or the social support this weights heavily on the family.

Many people do not understand about dementia but,are ever-willing to criticise those who,suffer from it! The pity is,they seldom realise that,every human being has to go through some ailment or health problem during their journey on Earth! May the Holy Spirit enlighten their minds!

Thank you for sharing your family's story. This is a timeless challenge that will resonate with many of us for years.

My mother had a devastating stroke before they had any treatment to halt the damage.It destroyed 3/4 of her very intelligent , loving brain. I lost my mother the day she had her stroke for 16 hours. I brought her home after ICU and rehab. Fir 9 years I took care of her. Then she died peacefully,I lost what was left of my mommy. And one last agony, I didn't expect to be devastated again after she died. It was when she was creamated .it tore me up.

My Mom just passed from dementia. I miss her so very much. I cared for her at my house. This video reminds me of my journey with my Mom. Pure love got me though the changed with dementia within her it is truly heartbreaking.

Thank you John for sharing your story. Chris did a wonderful job making this heartbreakingly beautiful film. Good boy Hadley.

Broke my heart when he bent down a kissed his dog's nose! Horrid, sad disease. God bless anyone and their families, who are given this cross to bear.

My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago at age 64. Thank you for this. It gives me comfort.

My heart goes out to you and your family,sadly we lost our father last October to Alzheimer's and vascular dementia,it's a horrendous disease,we are the raising money at the moment in memory of our dear father Love Julie Xx

What a loving family and John was, as Chris said, a remarkable man. I know what it means to care for one's spouse day in and day out. It is exhausting beyond description. Marilyn, you have nothing to blame yourself for - you gave all of yourself to John and his well being while you could... Very moving documentary that left me in tears. BTW - music IS a doorway of contact to someone with memory issues. I wish more caregivers, doctors, nurses etc knew this.

This is painful. So much respect & love for you & your loved ones. The struggle is real. I will be praying for you all.

Absolutely an outstanding personal video which does a magnificent job at capturing and articulating the core issues of dealing with this hideous and unfair disease. Very well done,sir. 30:04

This broke my heart

Chris I'm sorry for your father's passing. I'm sure he is resting peacefully in his Heavenly Father's arms. Much love, Linda

Brilliant documentary.

You've made such a beautiful film. Thank you.

The video made me remember in full what my mother and stepfather went through. I’m wishing the best for you.

What a heartbreaking video, thank you for sharing

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. Lovely in every way.

Well done. A beautiful tribute full of love and compassion

What a wonderful tribute to your father, mother and also to you. This brought tears to my eyes because I could feel the love.

What a sweet man ..♡.RIP John♡♡♡

Beautiful video and family. Thank you for sharing.

Well done so sorry for your loss. You and the family were wonderful caretakers.

Thank you for sharing.

Chris, you and your mom are wonderful people. I am sorry for what your dad has had to go through. But your documentary is brilliant. This is something that everyone needs to be educated about. God Bless You and yours. You will not be forgotten.

Thank you for sharing your story xxx

Thank you for sharing your Beloved Dad ♥️

Thank you for sharing so much of your lives

I see that this is about 5 years ago , but I just want to say that his story was so well done .. It was easy to follow along with your Dad’s story and I found it to be such a loving , heartwarming ( and very sad as well ) take yet you and the rest of the family did everything you could do make your Dad’s life meaningful. My Dad had Alzheimer’s as well , though his wasn’t until about age 75 , he passed at 79. Thank you for sharing your story ❤ 28:54

When he went into the home and Hadley past away it broke my heart 😢😞😭you see I’m having memory loss my self and I’m 59 yrs old.. it scares me😞

What a beautiful documentation of you fathers journey. My mother had dementia for 15 years. Half of that she spent in a care home. I related to so much. Thank you.

At the very beginning of your video, loved seeing your Dad’s muscle memory to swing the club. Yes, a bit smaller, but still there.

All this questioning is very stressful for a person with Alzheimer's

If this family is so wonderful with this big sadness how more wonderful they could be without this ,it makes me wish I was there to care of the dad so he didn’t have to leave his home 😔

This was heart breaking x wonderful look at an amazing dad x ❤️

This is such a sad story. This shows how much ur father was loved. And he was so sweet. Its not fair!

None of us will ever really understand what it feels like to have the disease, but we understand the pain we go through watching and losing those who suffer from it. Let us walk together and pray for those who will & have succom(ed) to/from the disease, and those who care for and/or lost someone with the disease. Thank you for sharing.

I can't imagine a worse fate. I mean, truly. Knowing you were losing your mind and that there was nothing you could do. Knowing that one day, you'd look into the eyes of people you've known and loved all your life and have no recognition.To those suffering and those caring for them, I send lots of love and strength. I raise a glass to the hope for a cure one day.

Just a beautiful man, a wonderful wife and a great family! Great message!

What a wonderful son. Your dad is so precious.

Very touching story... this disease is not fair to so many people and families. It’s always a tough ending for everyone involved when a family member is diagnosed. Remember how they lived and not how they died. 🙏🏻👍

Aww, he seemed like a sweet man, this is so heartbreaking to watch. My daughters gramma is going through this and she's such a sweet loving woman, I'm so scared for her when she gets worse. Its such a cruel disease.

Incredibly sad, I'm so sad about this disease. Thank you for sharing your story of LOVE! I am moved!

It takes a selfless person to share a traumatic personal story that entails the suffering of a loved one to help educate others . Without these committed people like Chris & his family’s pain on their journey we would not see the reality of Alzheimer’s/dementias affects on the individual & their carers . I’m a realist while being diagnosed myself with young onset being bvFTD I Thankyou Chris for taking us into your private world. Loved your song , your the wedding , especially in thongs sometimes called pluggers in Oz . Hope your doing ok these days

When he said yeah oh yeah yeah. It made me sad because even though he said yeah he didn’t really remember . He just wanted to make you happy

What a wonderful loving documentary. I'm glad you and your dad became friends 💗

great story thanks from UK

Thank you for sharing your love

This was very well done, and thank you for telling your story. Your father seemed like a great man. After hearing about it on Collider Live and seeing your post in the group, I had to check it out and I'm glad I did.

Been through this desease with two people. It can take many years for it to take their lives. It is terrible for entire family.

Dementia is the suckiest most horrendous disease their is. Love the sweetest parents in the world who are dealing this for over 10 yrs.

I am pretty certain that I would take my own life if I were to get alzheimers disease. I could not bear to have anyone watch me slowly lose myself to this absolutely cruel disease. 💔😢

Very difficult to comment on such a cruel disease. One moment I’m feeling total compassion for the sufferer then I’m suddenly understanding the great hardship the carer has in their job of caring and, of course, the whole family. Let’s hope a cure is on the horizon. It is really horrible to have seen this lovely man fade away. A beautiful documentary. Thank you. Wishing you the best of everything for the future with your beautiful wife,❤️

Wow. He died the same exact date as my husband died of cancer. Dementia is a terrible thing.

What a great family.

Hi Charles I Didn't watch your video the first time just the part about your test sorry to hear about your Dad you had a Beautiful wedding I can remember for a little time and my mind goes blank I'm going to say goodbye before I forget what i'm talking about

*Powerful and heartbreaking at the same time.*

Sooo heartbreaking

❤❤❤ keep posting, ❤❤❤

Chris I hope you're doing well... You're Dad was a sweetheart... He's hopefully in a better place and he's with Hadley💖

"Come on Hadley"...🥺

These videos made me so sad. It kinda upset me when he would record his father

Did you just run that stop sign?! Omg. Well I’m sure you could see both ways. Lol

Your story was the best that I ever heard, I'm going threw that now with my mom , Thank you for your story, May the lord be with all your family.

So incredibly touching and tender! Thank you she's God bless you!

Not everyone gets memory loss with age. I’ve still got a photographic memory and I’m 61. In fact people a lot younger than me have commented on my memory skills. I’m just thankful as it must be awful to be forgetful. Hope it never happens to me.

sry for your loss..

I really liked that man... I wish he hadn't been put in a home...That was heartbreaking....He said himself that he didn't know why.....Poor man.....omg so sad …..I like his family especially his son...

So very sad. Poor man, poor family.💕

So sad, life is so short, truly touched by his story.

Wonderful life testimony! So much demonstrated love! Thank you also for the music and the songs! The one at the end is beautiful! I wonder who wrote it and who is signing it. Any idea?!

Chris, how beautiful to see what you and your dad had as father and son. Thanks to you and family, dad finished strong. I’ll share that, Dr. Joshua Atiba, my friend of nearly 20 years is a renown oncologist, internist and pharmacologist. As of 2018, Dr. Atiba is successfully treating Alzheimer’s patients with a combination of now generic medications, and has “reversed” the symptoms of six patients as of January 2019. To be precise, patients eat again, feed themselves again, regain their cognitive and conversational skills, dress themselves, regain safety awareness, know to reposition themselves while in bed (to avoid bed sores), become continent again, etc. The results have been truly miraculous. Josh is currently treating patients WITHOUT CHARGE as part of his study intended to prove and document his treatment regimen. “Without charge” as in no money required AT ALL to be evaluated AND treated. I’m not sure if that will be true over the years to come, but the important thing is that you’ll long have proven responsiveness to the medication without cost for the treating physician. The three medicines in their current form cost around $500 a month after being discounted, and have to be taken consistently for the remaining lifetime. Once doctor Atiba’s patented combination pill is manufactured later in 2019, he estimates the cost will be $10 a day, or $300 per month. His goal is to free as many people as possible from the mental shackles of Alzheimer’s disease. He does not charge for evaluating / meeting and treating patients at this time during the proof of treatment phase. Again, the only cost is for the medication, which is paid to the pharmacy of your choice, NOT to Dr. Atiba. So this isn’t some scam. The happiest part of this information is that significant improvement can be expected in about one week. Like all other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, etc., the medication will be needed for the reminder of the individual’s life. In the meantime, Dr. Atiba has commissioned a drug company to manufacture the combined medicines into one pill at great personal investment. He further has investors helping to manufacture and distribute this new medicine. It appears that Dr. Atiba has accomplished what pharmaceutical companies have tried to do for 50 years. As he is California certified in all his disciplines, he sees patients in Southern and Northern California, specifically the Rancho Mirage and Monterey areas. Anyone who has a loved one suffering with dementia, to include Alzheimer’s should consider meeting with Dr. Atiba and being part of this impressive treatment regimen. Please call me if you would like to learn more about this groundbreaking treatment or arranging a free evaluation with Dr. Atiba. (I hate how that sounds like commercial jargon). I’m prepared to answer any and all questions that you’ll understandably have about Dr. Atiba, me and the treatment regimen. God bless you and your beautiful family! Scott 707-365-6743

Your dad seems like a wonderful man lm sure he has been a wonderful farther

Rolling out of bed for your wedding

When he had to leave his dog behind. 💔💔💔

Place headphones 🎧 attached to an IPOD....IPOD should have all of their favorite songs! Watch them COME ALIVE WITH 🎶 ❤️🥰😇😇😇🤗

So sad. They dont understand he doesnt remember what the word "stand" means anymore. I see this all too often.

Wow such an awesome son he says everything you do is wrong is not your fault

He wanted to park his car in her garage and she wasn't having it !

It could be due to the side-effects of prescription drugs such as Beta blockers, Statins for cholesterol, etc

I cried when the dog died...what a lovely family...no religious nonsense, pragmatic, fun loving, bright and cheery

Came here from Collider Live!

I had to take the same test for Vascular Dementia I couldn't remember any thing she would saying got mad because she keep asking me the same questions wanted to though everything off her Desk I told her she told me she was Doing her job it just mad me made forgot my niece it's just getting worse

Did u step on the cat…. She is a Knut

Did you just step on a cat?! Was waiting for her to show some claws..meow

#TheLongGoodbye 🥺

Lots of frustration for a spouse! So I think my words I said are wrong...🥰

So you lied to this man who is confused? I noticed a lot of self pity while dumping this man out of his home? My... glad you’re not my family. Now I’m watching the pity part because they visited him daily. That wife sickens me. This man died alone in a strange place. That’s the saddest thing I’ve seen .

She should relax....how aggressive!😣
