Summary

It’s almost Father’s Day, so who better to have on my show than MY OWN DAD, Dr. Fermin Whittaker?! Many of you have been on the journey with me as I walk with my parents through my dad’s dementia. And they currently live across the street from me!! You’ve fallen in love with the sweet, sweet old man he’s become. And you’ve fallen in love with my mom, who is his caretaker and is LITERALLY living out her vows every. single. day. Many of you love this version of my dad, and I realized it’s the only version of my dad that you know. But for the majority of my life, the version of my father that I had, you don’t know.
