This was such a touching account of what you went through - as I shared before, I truly had never read any of these stories. I consider myself lucky to now have understood what so many went through - through your excellent storytelling skills - you brought us into isolation.
I would have probably been crying as I walked out...
I'm sorry you went through this Bernie, and grateful you didn't get sick so that you could see your Dad. You have truly been through a lot - but as always, shining with hope, positivity and love for life and those who are still with you.
Thanks for writing!
