I called my dad last night … just to say ‘hi’ … that’s the sort of thing we do.<\/p>\n
And as soon as he answered the phone I could tell something was wrong …<\/p>\n
“What’s wrong Dad, are you okay?<\/i>”<\/p>\n
“I’m sad, I just got a call from Boss. Co-Worker 1 had a heart attack this afternoon and passed away. He was watching the Michigan game with his sons and it just happened. He had passed away before the ambulance even arrived. At least he didn’t suffer in pain long.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
We talked some.<\/p>\n
I know Co-Worker 1. Co-Worker 1 was one of my dad’s really good friends. He was 4 months younger than my dad. And when my dad’s condition worsened, Co-Worker 1 was the person that helped him from his car to his office everyday. My dad was numb. And I was numb for my dad.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow is never guaranteed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
