What Dad Said Since I'm Not Around

Dad called a relative in California(we live in Illinois) and told her her dad had been adopted and they weren't really Campbells.  The dad in question is over 65 and is the birth child of my uncle. By the way, he has never met these cousin, but had the telephone number and thought he'd give them a ring.
 
On another note, I love that new song by Pharrel called "Happy." It's from that movie "Despicable Me 2".  Listen on youtube.
 
Here are the lyrics:
                    Happy
It might seem crazy what I’m about to saySunshine she’s here, you can take a breakI’m a hot air balloon that could go to spaceWith the air, like I don’t care baby by the way[Hook:]Because I’m happyClap along if you feel like a room without a roofBecause I’m happyClap along if you feel like happiness is the truthBecause I’m happyClap along if you know what happiness is to youBecause I’m happyClap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do[Verse 2:]Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold back, yeah,Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah,No offense to you, don’t waste your timeHere’s why[Hook]Hey, come on[Bridge:](happy)Bring me downCan't nothing bring me downMy level's too highBring me downCan't nothing bring me downI said (let me tell you now)Bring me downCan't nothing bring me downMy level's too highBring me downCan't nothing bring me downI said[Hook 2x]Hey, come on(happy)Bring me down… can’t nothing…Bring me down… my level's too high…Bring me down… can’t nothing…Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)[Hook 2x]Come on

It is OK... It is his Dementia.. You can not make sense of it it is their reality.. And if you attempt to make sense of it you will go crazy... Just send him prayers of love and allow him to be.... You will be fine............ Take care of yourself

to me it sounds like he\'s not happy with his life so he doesn\'t want anyone else to be happy. Hopefully they ignored him and didn\'t let his hate and malcontent get to them.....hugs, Sandi
