Such a precious gift, that memory. All the best to you today, Dad of my sweet singing sister :)

Thanks a million, Jannirose. Memory is a precious gift from God.

It really is, friend. I am reminded of this daily as our Charlie fans in and out with the cognitive changes that come with Alzheimer's. I get to tell him the same things over and over each day because they don't stick. Here's the one thing I know for sure, though: As long as he knows he's loved, it's all that truly matters.

Amen. So well said. Yes, Charlie knows how much he's loved.

Ah yes, The Bees. I always thought the Reno Silver Sox had the best name in minor league baseball. That and the Macon Whoopee
