Never a complainer, even through pain.



Backstory

My dad was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and inclusion body myositis. He had trouble breathing. He couldn't swallow properly. But he had every intention to improve. He needed a feeding tube. He saw it as another experience. He remained positive, courteous, and joyous. When he died even his nurse wept. My dad meant that much to all of us. We miss him every day.
