what gives me hope #1

While a 14 year old girl’s father laid dying of lung cancer in the hospital, he told his wife to buy a coffee table and end table for his daughter’s room. He was supposed to build them himself because he built her entire room, but he was too sick. His dying wish was for his daughter’s room to be finished.

That 14 year old girl was my mother.

The love between a man I never met and his daughter who has shaped my life so much gives me hope.
