My dad went into hospice and passed away early this year. Thanks for making this. It's so hard to put words to those final experiences.

Thank you. I watched this 4 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. I periodically come back to this video. He passed in March, and I am filled with more love than loss, but this is absolutely comforting. My dad and I had a similar relationship that y'all had. ❤️

My dad died 6 years ago when I was 14, he was terminally ill for 18 months prior to passing, the hospital/ICU/Hospice story was all almost the exact same with him too, this video really made the feels kick in.

My dad died 5 years ago, when I was just 10 years old. Absolutely broke my heart. It affected my life forever, But this showed me that I should be happy & cherish all the moments I have had with him, and to appreciate the 10 years that I have had with him & to appreciate everything. Thank you for this. xX

So sorry for your loss. I remember that moment so well, my dad also had cancer, the day the doctor said that there was nothing more they can do and his body couldn't tolerate anything else. I miss him so much, there isn't a day that pass I don't think of him and it's been since 2014. He lived 2 weeks and 2 days after that.

Alright ....that hit ..right in the feels😢

My dad also passed from cancer one year after my mom passed away. Your story really touched me. I remember the way it felt to learn my dad was doing to die, it was like being punched in the soul. Hearing him take his last breath left a hole in me, but I will always have the memories of him supporting me in all of the crazy adventures I had. I am so glad that you got to have that from your dad too.

Wow... Amazing story. Losing a loved one is real life. These things happened and I'm grateful for people who are willing to share their experiences.

My dad has a potentially deadly disease that he thought was a cough for years..
I don’t wanna lose him I love him so much he’s been the best dad he could.
But if he does pass, I know that he loved us so much I just want him to live.

And a lot of people still unthankful of grace of having they parents alive #RiptheDeadones

[GEOHHADDAD]

It’s a shame that a lot more of social media isn’t like this. It was a really beautiful, well made and moving piece of work.

Nick Ross... You are one of the most touching, interesting, beautiful human beings I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
I am always looking forward to more videos from you :)
Lots of love from Paris

This touched my heart. Aside from the movie bit, I had a very similar experience with my dad. Watching him battle and ultimately lose to cancer was incredibly hard. But I will forever be grateful for the special last moments I got to share with him. I'm glad you got such a special last moment with yours too. Peace and love.

this was such a great story, and you are a beautiful storyteller

[DJxSGGxNeo]

My dad passed away this morning, or yesterday morning, havn't slept in days. I am glad he is finally not suffering of pain, I just know he is in a better place.

[AkelloStone]

What a wonderfully touching story. So many of us do not get a lasting memory that really connects us with those who pass. I am so glad you did, and that you were willing to share.

[marysemeunier]

Beautiful moment with your dad! Glad you could have it !

[ardimcfly]

My father passed away from cancer on the first day of september 2020, five weeks after his diagnosis. My favourite person in the whole universe. I miss you, I love you. Life.
