I got a call from W before I left to meet them. They weren't able to fly him to Stanford yet. So instead, I drove up to her parents to pick up D so W could go back to the hospital.
I didn't hear anything for the two hour drive until I was right around the corner. Her dad was coding and she going to the hospital.
We met right down the street from her parents house and I got D. I started driving back to my parents house which is about half way between her parents and my house.
Not more than 20 minutes later, she sent me a text:
"my dad is gone."
I pulled over and replied "I am so sorry W"
I sat there for a bit wondering what to do. I finally started driving again and I am now at my parents house with D.
Unbelievable. Her dad was healthy! Exercised. Looked good. Only in his 60's.
What a shock.
I'm about an hour away if they need anything. But I understand if she doesn't want me around right now. All I can do right now.
