No worries at all komo. It is a very hard thing to go through as SBSVC said.
Sorry to hear that komo. Going through that right now with both my folks. My mom has parkinsons dementia and my dad has dementia that we've not...
Hmmm, I guess it could be a gnome, but they didn't make his hat very pointy. Then again some of examples in your next post on the google search...
