but this was the real thing. Made me smile too.
It's great to see a fellow human being return and excel at what he/she does best. It creates hope for others.

He was hospitalized and had only days remaining. I asked him what he wanted me to root for --- sports wise --- after he was gone.

Dad was disgusted with Nicklaus for his politics and how he refused to even call Obama by name. I'll never forget how dad's facial expression got serious and the first thing he said was, "Root for Tiger to break Nicklaus' record."

He used some negative term for Nicklaus during the remark, but I can't remember it exactly. I was semi shocked at the comment because dad had never been a huge Tiger fan. But it was an election year and every four years he hated that Nicklaus and Palmer would stump for the Republican nominee, and that Nicklaus was particularly vocal about his beliefs.

It's why a society needs support systems like good healthcare and folks who genuinely care for you.

And then he was even worse for a while.

But I think he's suffered enough and I'm hoping he's tamed his demons and is BACK. That smile is imply radiant and yes, it's a nice thing to enjoy it in someone else.
