Yesterday, I was one of the speakers when a building was dedicated to and named for my dedicated cardiologist, Dr. Deeb Salem.

My dedicated readers know what a great doctor Deeb Salem is, because I’ve dedicated space in many blog posts to him (including this, this, and this).
Dedicated as I am to clear communication, I regret that the picture and sound in this video of my speech are fuzzy.
I hope you can tell how dedicated Dr. Deeb Salem and I are to each other. Many people dedicated to him told me they were also crying during my speech, which “perfectly captured Deeb.”
As usual, I’m dedicated to sharing more images from my daily life with you.


























I guess I’ll be celebrating Do Dah Day, because I’m also dedicated to silliness.
Dedicated thanks to all who helped me write this dedicated post, including Dr. Salem and YOU!

Even though I could see you well in the video, great dedication speech 🙂 Wow, 40 years of care from one person. Sounds like he does deserve that building in his name.
Somebody at the dedication said that the building should feel honored that it has his name!
How utter wonderful- I’m sure this meant the world to him
Your wonderful comments mean the world to me, beth.
Beautiful speech. Great puns.
Beautiful comment, Debbie.
Ann,I just listened to your whole speech ( and so did everyone with me). You brought tears to my eyes and I also laughed out loud. You have an extraordinary cardiologist who is an extraordinary and compassionate and brilliant person, and your speech gave beautiful examples of his excellence and your relationship. You are a gifted speech writer and brave, too. Congratulations to you and to Dr. Deeb Salem. I have never met Dr Salem but I have been very fond of him for several years, thanks to your remarkable blog. Thank you for sharing your speech!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts and feelings, my friend.
How wonderful 🥰
Thank you, wonderful Val!
Dr. Salem’s day appears as wonderful as I thought it would be, Ann. Congratulations on your touching participation.
And thank you for being a supporter of the punny side of life!
I knew you would really enjoy this post, my friend!
Thanks for sharing this event, and I did listen. You sounded so emotional, and rightly so. I call that enhanced spirituality, through the people who have really helped you.
Thanks for being such a dedicated reader of this blog, Maria.
