10 years ago today, a little levity in the wake of Dad's passing: After my sister deleted Dad's many "pocket pics" (i.e., pics taken inside his pants pocket) from his cell phone, Mom asked, "Why are there so many pictures of dark squares on Dad's cellphone?"

May Day, Beltane, etc. There are many events observed on this date. For me, this day marks the beginning of a vigil for my father's final journey. So, ten years later, and this memory of Dad tugging my arm and mouthing "Let's go home" still hits my heart. #MayDay #OneWhoIsRememberedStillLives #GoodbyeDad #StillSayingGoodbye

Ten years ago today, I returned to my day job after spending three weeks visiting my father in the Cleveland Clinic.

I think I remembered everyone's name. But I could be mistaken.

Ten years ago today in Dad's final journey, some doctor or technician apparently declared, "His lungs are beautiful!"

So, the problem wasn't in his lungs. Other scans indicated deficient diaphragm function on both sides, but that was a "what" not a "why" or "how." So, at this point in Dad's Cleveland Clinic stay, it was still: Scan, evaluate, eliminate another theory, and repeat.

...IN HONOR OF MY FATHER.

This will be my first Christmas without you.

Man, that really hit me on the flight yesterday.

Dad's garage was finally emptied out in 2018, and I now own his jewelry box. But nine years ago today, I was tacking some things he left behind. I didn't make much headway with the garage that day, but my efforts yielded some walk-around-and-work space.
