The Jazzman paid me a compliment recently, and it was one of the best (and most insightful) compliments I believe I've ever received. We were talking about my oldest brother, who has a severely diseased heart. He is a transplant candidate, and lives now with the aid of an internal defibrillator and pacemaker. Tyler was asking how his uncle's heart got so bad. I replied, "He got Daddy's heart."
The Jazzman quickly chimed in, "No, you got your daddy's heart. Jerry only got his heart malady."
I was touched beyond words and will never forget those kind words.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, and buckets of gratitude to my Daddy. Your DNA isn't in me, but your heart is!
