Alzheimerâ™s â The Thief A thief came a while back and slowly took our Dad away. He didnâ™t do it all at once, but by t iny pieces every day. At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled. âœOh, heâ™s just ge tting older, too, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of him we knew. But no w that hard battleâ™s over, and Dadâ™s resting in his final Home. God made the thief give bac k to us the Father we had known. âœWe Love You and Will Miss You. groups for all their support.
