TW: grief, loss *his prognosis was ~ 6 mo*

Transcript

My dad is dying of brain cancer. My dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma 9 years ago and his prognosis was ~ 6 mo. His health has declined pretty rapidly in the past couple of weeks. He can no longer see, he can no longer walk. I'm not coming on here for sympathy. I appreciate it, but that's not why I'm making this video. I'm making this video to inspire you to live your life. Every day, so many of us take our health and our bodies for granted. And at any point, that can be taken away. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. So if I can inspire you to do anything today, do something that is out of your comfort zone, and experience that you've never tried before, even if it's just like a new walking path. Go do it. Use your body, fuel your body, take care of your body because just like that, it can be taken away.
