A tribute to my father.  He passed away on 12/20/18 after battling terminal illness for many years. Despite everything he went through in life, he was there for me through some really difficult times. He drove over 1,000 miles to be with me for as long as he could while I was battling cancer and slept on my couch, drove me to chemo, and was a rock in a lot of ways despite not being in good health himself.  I remember having a panic attack at one point while we sat in the car before going into one of my doctor appointments. He sat there very calm and quiet and offered his best advice.  Now that he is gone, I feel like I never had the chance to thank him enough for everything he did. Just letting it out here.
