I wrote to my dad and I asked him, "Would you for my sake — for your great-grandkids' sake and the sake of your grandkids — would you consider doing this?" And I listed a few things, and I pretty much pleaded with him.
He told me he loved me and that he respected me asking him this. But no, he would not change his mind.
It was not the answer I was expecting, and that was really hard. However, we were still able to say we loved each other, even though we were polar opposites on this subject.
I had had basically a week where I'd been kind of really upset with dad about some things he had posted, and I just needed a little space. But finally, I was like, "You know what, Trudy? This is your dad."
I actually had my phone out. I was just going to send him a message ... and a neighbour sent me a message that he was in bed, had the chills, wasn't getting out of bed.
To be clear, he did believe that COVID was real. He didn't think this was a hoax.
I can't imagine the intensity of regret lying in a bed dying of Covid because you chose not to get vaccinated.
