Taken In school, when my teacher had asked the class if anyone has a person that they idolize in their life because of something that they have done to that person or another person.

Usually when you think of life, you think of the parents die first, followed by the children. But in this case, dad was worried that he was going to make it to my funeral, which honestly the one thing every parent actually wants to miss out on in their child's life.
