Let me entertain you

Well I returned from holiday, and saw a huge difference in my dad. Confusion beyond confusion. As we entered the home he was asleep, apparently he now sleeps most of the time. On waking he looked ill and disorientated. He came round slowly and we started to chat. At 3pm he couldn't remember his lunch. I used my safety fall back talk of his son and grandchildren, he has daughters???? Don't be silly! Was the reply. My next attempt was the photos I keep to show him on my phone. After 30 minutes I ascertained he can't remember the last 19 years. He knew my husband from his wedding photo But not from recent ones, he didn't know my children at all, or my dogs. He was one of their buddies. The next challenge will be his diamond wedding. I know from his personality that he will say hello to everyone. But he will not know who they are. And sadly won't remember the meal by the time he gets to bed. However he still continues to be a source of entertainment where he lives. Apparently he entertained the residents to a strip in the lounge, they all sang for him. He would have loved that, he did once do a " turn" on the Christmas concert as the three degrees! He has always been an entertainer, I have cringed so many times at him dressed up as Frank Spencer, Shirley Bassey, a man with no back in his suit, and as a man riding an emu!!! All costumes home made and fab. He swore all through his speech at my wedding, telling risky tales, which for a man I never heard swear before or after the event was odd, but he was on stage, he had an audience. Well I don't think he will be turning up for the do in drag!!!not this time.
