Dizzy, Dizzy I have been so blessed. Such cherished memories. The last eight or so months I will hold close for the rest of my life. We drank bunches of coffee, sat on the back porch, gazing off into the yonder, just being still, politicking, remembering. God has healed you now. I love you brother and I miss you.
