Alzheimer’s


My Dad, Sherman Marcus December 10, 1928 – January 8, 2012

For the last 6 months of his life, my Dad gave me a gift, he allowed me to become his caregiver. Through my writing, I documented this journey. Along the way and since his passing, I have been overwhelmed with support from both friends and strangers who came here for one reason or another. My Dad continues to give by allowing me to share his story with the world. Below is the entire collection of posts I wrote.
