Day 176

David and Johnny!

Let us out!

Sam and Jonathan III

Today my cousin Jon, his wife Laura and their 1 year old Jonathan came to visit. My sister and Sam were here and the babies started to play. Well, Sam mainly tried to beat up Jonathan. But in the end, I hope they had fun?

Anywhoo… I always say that Sam looks like me. Jonathan definitely looks like his father. When we were little, we were the only two boys in the family for a long time. So, grandma always used to dress us the same. We did look similar for awhile. Then I got fat and Jon got tall. Damn it. Get a load of this picture!

Oldie, but Goodie

Sam and Jon!? Or David and Jon?!

Day 175

This kid has been smiling for 63 years the same way. Even now, while battling an aggressive cancer, he wakes up and gives us a cheesy grin. He dances to the oldies playing, tells old stories, talks alot about his tools. He tells us he loves us. And then he goes back to sleep.

I’m amazed at the grace he has in death. His doctor (of years) said that he was a leader in life and would now be a leader in death. No truer words have been spoken.

Smiling until the end…
