Translation

1- dad was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia
2- since we all live in different countries, we decided to go on a trip together, father and sons
3- before the illness advances
4- sometimes dad seems very lost
5- inside his own world
6- but then he comes back and connects with us
7- we rented a car and drove around
8- dad always with his cap, sunglasses and his little purse where he packs a bit of everything
9- he sleeps a lot and at any time
11- he prefers help when shaving
12- and remembering to take his pills
13- we spent halloween together
14- sometimes he acts like a child, like when we went to NASA
16- he takes a lot of pictures even though most are out of focus or poorly framed
17- we had to get him a wheelchair
18- because he walks very slowly and he gets tired quickly
20- he eats like crazy
21- he takes pictures of plants and bugs
22- we were able to dine together
23- he generally has a hard time leaving the bed
24- but sometimes he connects and everything is as usual
25- he has a voracious appetite, specially when it comes to ceviche
27- despite the changes that come with the illness he still is our old man
28- and we’ll meet again on the next trip
