My father looks goofy without his teeth. He looked even goofier if he smiled without his teeth. He knew it, and he rarely smiled because of that. But he laughed.
This was taken last January, 2011.
My father died peacefully on February 6, 2012. I had arrived a few hours before he died, so I had time to sit by him and talk and even moisten his lips with the long-promised scotch I had with me. I don't know if he heard me, but he smacked his lips from the scotch, My father had Alzheimer's and had donated his brain to the Alzheimer's study he'd been part of at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. I'll continue to post for a while.
