    I’m impressed. I did not enjoy having to learn calculus in Tech.

    Thanks for the life story.

    Now I’ve got something in my eye…

    Beautiful.

    My sister passed away 20 years ago (MS), she died in my arms (at our house because I took care of her there)…

    Very nice tribute. My husband passed away last week, also from dementia, so I commiserate.

    Ms. El-Dweek, thank you indeed! How good that you can be eloquent, as this subject obviously affords. What a man! (Plus, how often do you get to read the word, “ineffable,” in a cartoon strip?)

    Sounds like a wonderful guy. The calculus thing warms my heart especially because I was a history major who took calculus.

    Also reminds me of Johnny Smith, a monster jazz guitar player who quit touring and playing in clubs at the peak of his career because his wife died in a car accident. He opted to care for the kids.
