I’ll comment all day. O respect and admire you all! And the ability to separate the illness from the person is so vital…

I am the daughter and caretaker of an Alzheimer's patient(deceased). I love how your family communicates with humor! You are wonderful. It is so good to meet Jessica and learn how she felt.. Hank you are the best 😍😍😍😍

What’s lovely family. Just want to know if you could save any of the Oreos! Lol Thanks so much for the video.

Hi guys, Jessica is a doll, just like her parents. I loved the joke, smiles and love you have for each other. Thank you

[brookedepp]

Awe...Hanks demeanor is endearing. With his little southern drawl. 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

My brother has dementia but not LB. He is progressing rapidly. He can't talk has trouble walking. Gets frustrated. He's almost like a toddler when it comes to taking instructions. I'm his only living sibling and he's in a skilled nursing facility about 5 miles from me so I go see him every day. Thank you for sharing your story. It's an encouragement to me. God bless your family. ❤️

Another great video! Your daughter is so lovely! I can see the deep bond and love you all have. She shared some very good information and I loved the joke at the end! Thanks for sharing! ❤

So nice hearing Jessica’s perspective on how things were with Hank. Y’all are such a lovely family and the love is apparent!! Thanks for sharing 💗

I love to see how you can discuss all these things. When I look at Hank, I see my husband's face and the lack of expression. And the anger definitely came out. And to hear him apologize was something my husband couldn't do. It is awesome. God is truly blessing your family. I don't know why, but watching you two helps me now that my husband is gone. Thank you for doing this.

Really enjoyed hearing Jessica’s perspective and seeing how you all interact with honesty, truth and love

Just love your Father-Daughter joke. Shows so much love and compassion as you relate the changes and I'm sure you will help others with your testimony. Praise God that you finally found medical help that truly wanted to help with diagnosis and treatment.

I appreciate you sharing how it made you feel dealing with the moods. That had to be very hard as a teenager. Loved the joke made me laugh!

[bettyhonold]

Oreos are a staple in our house! It helps me to hear your stories.

What a great surprise for us viewers!! That took me through a gamut; Teary and laughing 😆 Hank singing Twitty, was this a good thing? I heard something about that, not sure how it went… You three are great together and Hope you do this again ❤️❤️‍🩹

[retiredred]

Stepped it up a notch!! Love seeing your girl and hearing her point of view. Always enjoy your videos and we'd love to hear more from Jessica in the future! Blessings 💜

It still is hard even though you know it is the LBD. My dad has been gone for 10 years, but this brings back a lot of memories. My prayers are with you and your family on this journey.

[lindawilkerson]

Jessica, so nice to meet you. Your points really got me thinking about some things. Thank you for joining your parents

[joycekermmoade]

The stories you tell, are my story too, My husband is not diagnosed with LBD but he fits the pattern, if you will. Your talk tonight about aggression was so mild compared to what I have experienced. He is in a VA program now for Alzheimer’s but does not fit that pattern. I worry that his treatment for Alzheimers may not benefit LBD.

Glad to hear the Oreo story. Sometimes it’s like a 2 year olds tantrum. Happy to know I’m not the only one.
