8. Early stages

He reminds me of my father in the earliest stages of dementia. We didn't understand it at the time and only in hindsight did it make sense. But his vocabulary is becoming more limited and he repeats phrases often, both in the same sentence and in the same paragraph. By the way, things like "crooked Hillary" are reminiscent as well in that my father had more and more trouble with proper nouns and names and started using more pronouns and nicknames. Have you ever noticed how often he has paused when invoking her name? There are times he stops between "Hillary" and "Clinton" as if he doesn't remember he last name.
