April 15, 2005: This is one of the earliest pictures I took of my father, with my first point-and-shoot.
My father looks like his mother here - Grandma Rose. She lived to be close to 100, in good health. That was despite being a chain smoker all her life.
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.
