If I Think Too Much.

One of the hard things about caretaking a parent that not only has a degenerative disease, but has a degenerative disease that is hereditary, is that you have to live with the fear or knowledge that what is happening to your parent everyday could one day be your reality. As I watch my father get further and further from the man I grew up knowing, and become more and more confused and frustrated with his everyday world I cant help but worry that it will be me one day facing the same challenges, issues, frustrations, and loss of self, and it truthfully scares me more than I can ever express.
