The clip is equally sad, yet moving when Bailey explains to her father their relationship.
In a GoFundMe, Bailey wrote that her father had an accident in January 2022 which left him in the hospital for several weeks.
He was diagnosed with dementia “along with a few other things that have made him permanently disabled.” His diagnoses meant he needed round the clock care, and since Bailey was already a caregiver for her mother it was decided her father would also live with her.
Ever since her father, Scott, came to live with her, Bailey has been sharing her father’s journey on TikTok… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
And while all of her videos are eye-opening, there was one video that went viral.
It was a conversation she recorded between herself and her father. In it, her dad struggles with believing he is Bailey’s father.
“In my mind and in my heart, you’re my dad, and you will always be my dad,” she tells him in the video.
Bailey suggests she calls him Scott, his name, and he calls her Bailey, and he agrees, though he’s careful not to upset her feelings.
