Title: My father is missing. Update!!! FOUND!!!!
Post by: birdymaker on May 01, 2009, 05:19:27 PM
He is 86 years old and suffers from dementia. I had no idea how bad it had gotten as my mother has been hiding it from me telling me everything was fine, that he's just a little forgetful.
My sister was just down there and was going to call me to fill me in this weekend. Instead she called this evening to inform me he has been missing since 1:00 this afternoon.

They have lived in Florida for the last 23 years but lately he thinks that he still lives in Michigan and was just visiting stating several times that he needs to get home and back to work. He went to the bank about noon and withdrew several hundred dollars and went home ate lunch, then jumped in the car, literally squealed the tires out of the driveway and up the street and hasn't been heard from since.
The police and my mother figure he is trying to drive to Michigan. he can't find his way home from town by himself.

Those of you that pray please include him in your prayers. the rest just, hope for the best.
thank you
Jeff

MY sister just called me, the police found him sitting on the side of the road someplace in Florida, and he is home now. Don't really have any of the details as i had nodded off from exhaustion and missed the call and the machine caught it. Ill let her sleep and get the details later on today.

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes.
Jeff
