[27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:27 ESV)
My Dad died in 2009 in the Assisted Living Center where he was forced to live because he had Alzheimer’s Disease. It is a horrible disease. I told everyone close to me at that time that we lost our Dad 10 years earlier when that disease took hold of him….
My mother suffered a heart attack during that time before they had to go live there and while in the hospital she had a stroke which caused her to lose the ability to drive, to communicate clearly, and so, we as a family had both of them moved to that Assisted Living Center. If Dad had not been there who knows what would have happened to him? He did not know where he was most of the time. He even started forgetting who most of us were. As I said, He died in 2009 while asleep at the age of 86. My mother was then moved to an apartment in the same Assisted Living Center. She lived there for many years until she got to be about 90 then we moved her to be closer to my sister in Houston. It was there that her health started going down pretty fast. She died in 2018 just after turning 91.
