10/7/2007

This isn't a picture from 10/7/07, but this is him, in the pool, about two months earlier, "chillin" as he would say.  I posted this picture of a picture (taken by my sister) because during his last day, full of life, he watched football with us all, which was "the best Redskins game he had ever seen" and then came back and got in the pool.  I remember we didn't stay in for quite as long as we usually would, because he felt tired.  So then we went home.   That was the last day that he was himself....and that day was today.  The next day he was clearly slipping away.

So today on 10/7/08, all I can think about is that game, and that pool.  I think he would be happy to know that anniversary of his last game, that he loved so much, was a good one.  And as I have said before, up until his very last day full of life, he was living to the fullest.
