Dad

And then the nurse pulled me into the hall and she said, when they lose weight that fast, it's very bad. And she was right. He lost consciousness a few days later and was taken to a hospital and put on life support. Margaret and I were with him every day. And then some doctor who I'd never seen before told me I had to take him off life support. And I said, no. I don't want him dying a death where he's struggling to breathe

I really appreciate you digging into your heart and finding this story and relating it to the theme of lost and found. It's beautiful. Thank you so much

And when she was 13, she was like, I'm going to run away and go live with my father. And I drove her out there. I was afraid for her to stay with him because he was abusive to me. That's why I broke up with him. And she wanted to spend the summer with him. And a few days later, she called, crying for me to come and get her. But she lasted about a week. It was so emotional

But those memories that you have of your dad before he passed, of course, will follow you the rest of your days. And I hope they're good ones. And I hope they hope those memories sustain you the rest of your days. And I hope life is good to you. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you have a good day
