One decade later...

... Dad's ticker is still ticking!  It hasn't been an easy road some of the time -- last year just before Thanksgiving he had another fun ER-hospital-rehab trip that dragged on weeks longer than it should have when (if I recall correctly) a coughing fit turned into vomiting turned into aspiration pneumonia.  But he made it home in time for Christmas and has had a great year; he and Mom took a vacation around the Southwest just last month.

We are all so grateful still to have Dad in our lives!
