My father had a brain aneurysm when I was very young and was mentally disabled the rest of his life. I went with him to see SU football vs Pitt when Pitt was #1 in the country, and I believe Dan Marino was their QB. I was about 14 and my mother dropped us off by Upstate Medical and we were supposed to meet her back there after the game.

In the second quarter, my father left our seats to go to the bathroom . . . and never came back.  Horrified that I had lost my mentally-disabled father, I spent the entire second half walking through the Dome looking for my father (and it was a good game, we lost either 7-0 or 14-0). When the game ended and I couldn't find my father, I walked back down the hill to my mother's car, crying the whole way.  My mother told me to go tell a police officer I lost my mentally-disabled father.

Just as I was about to do that, my father came strolling down the hill and got in the car. When my mother asked where he went, he said he went to the bathroom and then found a better seat so he just sat there.  I have never seen her madder.
