My dad is lost in Chicago

[geonagual]

If you didnt know...my dad is in the beginning stages of alzeimers...Well, he wanted to go back to Ohio to see a plaque and tree that was planted in my moms honor at her workplace...
Well, we paid extra to ensure that he had a escort throughout the trip and help him make his connection in Chicago..we were going to by him a nonstop..but the price was $1400..a little too pricey..anyway, some shit happened in Dayton, which delayed the flight in Chicago...my sister went to go and pick him up last night out in Orange County and he never flew in...he never got on the plane in Chicago! Who knows where the fuck he is..probably just wandering the city...we will see if he is found..otherwise, it is off to Chicago for me.

I hope your old man's alright mate, I'm sure he'll give you a call soon. Could he have have missed his original flight and just be waiting at the airport still?

I guess they were looking all over the airport last night and they couldnt find him...

He dosent own a cell phone and probably dosent have any numbers on him...who knows? he could of got a cab and went into the city..whatever it is...I hope he is having a good time. At this point in his life, I know he is sad...his wife of over 30 years just died..he is living with my sister in the middle of the friggin desert with her whacked out son...he is also a recovering alcoholic..so maybe he started knocking back a few....only time will tell I guess. Also, his alzeimers has been kicking in pretty hard so I am sure that plays the biggest factor in all of this.

Sorry to hear that, geonagual. Best wishes in finding him. I know how you feel because, the minute my Mother was late from "Jaffra Home Interiors" shows (?), and I'd be stuck with my Father, I'd ball my head-off.

I really hope he's alright mate. I'm sure he'll turn up and it'll turn out he was just having some fun.

This must be very scary, not knowing where he is or if he's okay- please keep us posted. What an ordeal- I'll be thinking about you today dear-

Just talked to my sister...we figure it has been 15 hours since anyone has seen or heard from him...she has had him paged over the overhead at o'hare...to no avail...hmmm...this is getting interesting..

I guess, next stop will be to call the Chicago police..

Does anyone know how far the airport is from downtown Chicago?
