It’s saddening to witness your loved ones get old each passing day. Add to that the hardships of seeing them struggle with diseases and illnesses that come along with their old age.

We all have different stories about our dads. While some of us do not have a lot of memorable moments with our fathers, there are some people who have a lot of reasons to be proud of their dads.

Meet Bailey And Scott

Bailey is a sweet daughter to her dad, Scott, who suffers from a disease that makes him forget about the people he loves.

Scott has dementia, which means that his ability to remember people around him, even the closest ones, is impaired.

Sharing Their Stories

Bailey decided to share awareness about dementia by posting videos of her encounters with her dad on her TikTok account, and so far, their interesting clips have touched a lot of people’s hearts.

He Can’t Remember Her

For sure it was hard for Bailey to watch her dad’s memory slowly fade away each day. There are times when he can even remember her, and he would freak out when she calls her “dad”.

An Agreement

One time, Bailey saw that her dad was uncomfortable being called “dad” by her because he couldn’t really recognize her so they made an agreement to just call each other by their names, which Bailey doesn’t have any problem with as long as they both know that they’re special to each other.

Proud Dad

Another time, Scott wasn’t aware that he was talking to his daughter, but he was proudly telling the “woman” (who’s Bailey, by the way) stories about his marriage and his life as a dad of two girls.

A Lucky Man

By the end of their conversation, Scott was saying how lucky he was to have a beautiful family, and Bailey, without telling him that she was one of the daughters he was talking about, said that she’s pretty sure his family was also lucky to have him.

Watch how Bailey and her dad’s conversation went in the video below.
