How great that you let me know. I'll pass this on to Daddy. Incidentally he pierced my ears and got one about a quarter inch lower than the other. People are always saying "I think you're losing an earing." "No, I just got a free piercing, you know how that goes." I tell them. Thanks - Lota said she enjoyed seeing ya'll so much. Wish we could have come by too., Say hello to your mother..she's my role model, of course. Emily - I must put these in the book! How great that you let me know. I’ll pass this on to Daddy.

When a woman came in to deliver her seventh child, Dr. Braddock came to deliver it even though she had never been in for a in for a prenatal visit. Before we had medicaid or medicare he willingly admitted a sick elderly woman laying in her own urine in the back of a pickup truck knowing he would never get paid for her care. The doctors had a lot of that. The fun memory is that he got a new "stapler" ear piersing machine and we all begged to be his first patients. Mine still look great!

My mind tells me it was inevitable, but my heart wishes differently -- he is truly a remarkable man and we will miss being able to see him at his office, but I can bet he will still be dispensing that caring to those who need it. Dr. Braddock helped me so much with my Mother and Roger and of course, me, when I needed him -- I am so appreciative! You are so lucky to have had your Father with you for all these years -- thank you for sharing him with the rest of us! Well - you know I have to add to all of the above!
