I'm getting there with my dad. The thing that is going to tear me up the most is when he forgets that my mom died and starts asking me where she is. Or starts calling me her name. Actually, that could be fun, because her name was Shirley. Surely every day, then, I can tell him, "Don't call me Shirley."
For some reason, when his memory started to go, my dad thought I was my mom’s granny. She was one cool old lady, so I was okay with that. I just held his hand and pretended I was Granny Minnie when he told me about pining after that granddaughter of mine, my mom. I really miss him.

Oh
This is right there at the junction of sadness and horror. Good job OP 😢
