Description
When my dad passed away, I only kept a couple articles of clothing. This shirt from his time in Vietnam is one of them. He was brave enough to go fight when he was called to, and brave enough to stand up against the war when he came back. I'm proud of him for never believing the army was only ever good or only ever bad, despite losing his best friend to combat. Every year on the anniversary of the day he returned, my grandmother would call him to welcome him home. When she died, I kept up the tradition until he passed away from dementia in early 2016. This painting is featured in my book, Fractured Memories: Because Demented People Need Love, Too. It chronicles my family's heartbreaking and hilarious journey through my dad's dementia and includes 40 paintings.
