A chance to listen

A follow-up to this post:

I received a phone call today. R passed away last night, on 14-Jan-2012. He was 94.

Cancer had spread from his bladder to his lungs. He was fortunate in a way Isaac was not: R never experienced any significant pain from his cancer. He was less fortunate in another: R passed away in a hospital, though he dearly wished to return home.

I’m glad I had a chance to see him one last time at Christmas. I’m also glad that I had a chance to listen to him, even if it was only a couple of jokes.

So Mote It Be.
