It was good to see you, Gil

After a long fight with COPD my brother-in-law, Gil Martin has passed away.

I remember last year at a family reunion when Gil — on his second troubled year after a lung transplant — came walking slowly up the path, oxygen in tow. This was just after a pretty serious scare and someone said, “It’s good to see you!”

After a pause, and a breath, he replied, “It’s good to be seen.”
