About two weeks before my dad passed we talked about why he wouldn't go to sleep.

Told me he was afraid he wouldn't wake up.

I told him - he did a good job and had an awesome life - we will be okay. It will suck - but we will be okay. He started sleeping that night.

It sucks Miss Millie. It just sucks.
