To all those that have been praying for me and my father it is much appreciated. Tuesday went as well as could be expected. No one likes to get the news that they cannot drive any more nor can the live independently. This is what was made offical to my dad on Tuesday. He was very upset of course by this news. However, I am glad that I prepared him for this on Saturday and that he finally understood his did have a disease. As the news was being told to him he kept his head down and I could tell he was feeling very defeated. It was hard to look at him when they were telling him the news. All our lives we look to our parents, especially sons and fathers, for confidence and strength. For the first time in my life I am witnessing my dad not have that strength and confidence. This is also the first time either of can't say to the other it is going to be okay. We don't know what the future holds, but we are both going to give it our best shot to win (whatever that looks like).
The next step is finding him a place to move. He needs someone to watch after him to make sure that he is taking his medication right, exercising, and eating a balance meal. Please pray that during the next few weeks we find a place that will accept him. Hopefully I will have something to report soon. Thank you all once agian for the prayers and offers of help.

This is so sad and hard to accept about one of my best friends in the world, all I know to do is pray for Sonny.
