Daddy went to UNC Chapel Hill, so college basketball was always his favorite. Last year, when he wasn't even interested in the tournament, we knew he wasn't long for this world. The only things that he was interested in his last few months were his great-grandchildren and reliving memories from his childhood and when he and Mama were young parents.

Aw, sad but also sweet. He prioritized the most important and affirming things in his life with his last precious days.

Yes. It was hard seeing him bed bound, his strength fading, but his mind was still strong, he knew who we were and enjoyed talking to us between naps and watching “Perry Mason” and “Highway Patrol.”

It doesn't really get any better than that. What a gentle telling of a peaceful parting. ((Hugs))

I giggle snorted when I first saw this. If I snort when I giggle or laugh that is my body paying you a compliment. Thanks, Martini, for all you do.

That's pretty good animation on the kangaroo's face. Also, I'm interested in the color scheme of this basketball court. Is it based on something in particular, or is it just to provide contrast to the color of the floor?

Thanks Joe! As far as the color scheme goes, I found a stock picture with a royal blue gym wall that I liked and decided to emulate and then I just randomly picked some complementary colors for the "padded" wall side.
