    Bertie, our Mom has something to say to Gail so we'll turn this over to her.

    Gail, all I can say is enjoy your Dad as much as you can - these days are precious - he looks like such a sweetie!! I lost my Dad four years ago, but I am so thankful for the memories of that wonderful man. Like you, I thought he was the best Father ever.

    XOXO

    How wonderful it is to have your dad around. You must be as proud of him, as he, most certainly, will be of you!

    Remember to make the best of each precious moment. The present is exactly that - a 'present'.

    It looks like you have found yourself a pawsome lap to lie on Bertie. Did you and your human-grandad discover any new theories about thermal heat transfer, or were you both too busy just enjoying the moment?

    Love and woofs to you both,
    Riley

    We never met our Gwandpa, but our person says he was the best father ever. We are glad that you are sharing theorems and naps with your Granddad.

    Yep. Inspiration, it is. In so many ways. Inspiration to grow "old" with so much strength and character. Inspiration to cuddle up close. Inspiration to enjoy every moment. And inspiration to capture moments like this on film.

    Thank you. We know what we'll be doing in a few months...

    hey Bertie,

    What a pawsome human grandad you have! Such a sweet photo! He looks great, and you and your mom, Gail, are so lucky to have him in your lives. I bet he has amazing stories to tell, like his adventures as a pilot in WW2.

    Do you woof your scientific theories to him and get his professional opinion? Very cool! :->

    Enjoy every moment you can with him!
