I lost my Grandad to Dementia and know the heartbreak of losing a piece of your loved one little by little. Cherish your memories and hold on tightly to every moment.

The more people talk and write about Dementia / Alzheimers the more we will understand it and can prevent and fight it. As you so rightly say it doesn't define your Dad or dim his achievements. It's hard, and I won't lie, will get harder but you have a terrific family and your friends are here when you need. Grab every day!
