Dumbphone Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo

My wife, God Bless her, dug out my old non-smart phone, charged it up, and activated it.  Now, it still needs to be plugged in 23 hours per day, but at least I can make a call while at a client or in the car.

The best part about using this old phone is seeing some old pictures I had left on it, including the first pics I had of my first-born son.  Seeing those brought back a flood of memories, all wonderful.

There is also the last pic I have of my Godfather/Uncle before he died of cancer a little over 4 years ago.

I had stopped by the hospital after work to visit.  He had just been admitted and was in a lot of pain due to the tumors that were ravaging his body.  Little did we know at the time that he would never leave that hospital alive and would die 3 weeks later.

That night, he gave me the "thumbs up" sign as I snapped the pic.

The memory of his tragically early death is not wonderful, but seeing him again and seeing his sense of humor come through brings a smile to my lips while also bringing a tear to my eye.
