    Mine died while we were talking on the phone. He had been rushed to the hospital (hiding how bad his cancer was), went into cardiac arrest, got revived, called me and said hello and asked how I was. I asked how he was and he said okay, normal voice. That was it.

      As a father I can say that your Dad only wanted you to be happy no matter what, not to suffer a single day but we can’t protect you from everything. I’ll also need to go at some point and leave my kids behind and it pains me that I won’t be able to spare them from that day.

        True stuff. I can’t deny that he came back from the dead and I was the person he called, lol. So that’s a privilege no one else got.
