From Near-Death to Renewed Life: My Quintuple Bypass Story

Your kid is watching. You can’t scream. You can’t yell. You can’t say all the bad things you’re dying to say.

I knew what was coming. I think you do too. Her goodbye that day would be her final one.

Some loved ones are gone because they’re in a better place now. Others are gone because I am.
