Some memories from recent years reflect how Myron\u2019s quick wit lasted until almost the very end\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 2015 (at Anji\u2019s birthday dinner):
\nAnji to Myron: Thanks for making me 55 years ago.
\nMyron: That was a long time ago. I couldn’t do it now.<\/p>\n

July 2016 (While driving Myron to Falls Park to sit on a bench and watch people go by, which was one of his favorite things to do in his last years):
\nMyron: I’m an old parkhand. People find me wandering around the park late at night.<\/p>\n

Fall 2016 (Elka and Myron at the allergist’s office):
\nDoctor: Myron, are you still active?
\n(Elka nods no at the same time Myron nods yes.)
\nElka to Myron: Myron, when you say you’re active, what do you mean?
\nMyron: Breathe.<\/p>\n

October 2017 (at dinner table):
\nElka: Could you put that trivet in the middle of the table?
\n(Myron does this)
\nAnji: Good job!
\nMyron: I’m all worn out.<\/p>\n

(Myron impatient about how long it\u2019s taking for Elka to serve dinner):
\nMyron: I’m not the waiting kind!<\/p>\n

(And post-dinner):
\nMyron: I’m a well-fed gent! My cheeks are red!<\/p>\n

(And during dessert):
\nAnji: Dad, how come you eat dessert slowly (because he eats the dinner so quickly!)?
\nMyron: Because I’m in touch with God. God eats slowly. He chews his food.<\/p>\n

April 2018 (Myron on a scale at the doctor\u2019s office):
\nElka: You’ve lost a lot of weight!
\nMyron: Where’s the rest of me?<\/p>\n

February 2019 (living room):
\nElka: Myron, do you want to eat something, or to go to bed, or to wait a bit?
\nMyron: (sitting quietly for so long that Elka thought he was asleep)
\n\u201cHe who sits and waits has a big life ahead of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
