Forgot his age

Whyzit2

A week ago DH knew he is 83. Today he thinks he is 60. He asked me how old I am. We happen to be the same age. He said he can’t believe he is 83. I told him it is ok he can be any age he wants to be and then asked him what age he would like to be. He responded age 3 because I wet my pants and other people can take care of it. So sad😂….,,but I wouldn’t mind being 60 again (pre-Alzheimer’s, pre Covid, etc, etc, etc)

it’s such a touchingly sad and happy disease all mixed into one. My DH asked me the other day “what is your name” I said S…. L….. same last name as yours he smiled so sweetly and said “oh yes that’s right” 💕

Loved the way you handled it by saying you can be any age you want to be. 💜 My husband thought my daughter was me especially after I lost my hair to chemo. He didn’t like the head coverings I wore and told me so.

My husband asks me daily how old he is. I love your response and we’ll see what happens when he asks again later today. 🙂
