My father died 5,111 days ago today.

            He had been sick for a year, from what his fellow doctors first diagnosed as brain cancer which was actually lung cancer that had metastasized to his brain. When he heard the disease was in his head, he was actually relieved.

            "It's not lung cancer," he reported with some glee, because as a lifelong Winston smoker he wanted to be able to say all those cigarettes didn't hurt him one bit. Life is funny that way.
