An older person wearing a light-colored collared shirt is pictured in an outdoor setting. The background shows greenery and part of a building, slightly blurred. The image is framed vertically, focusing on the upper body and shoulders.

My father was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2020. He went through rounds of chemo treatment that didn't solve the problem and then was afforded an opportunity to undergo T-cell therapy, which relieved him and put him in remission. It was only two years later that we found out that Dad had precursors to leukemia, and in July of 2024, we were told that he had six months. Dad fought every step of the way and is a huge inspiration in my life. The entire time that he was undergoing less than pleasant treatments and was even at his physical worst, the only thing he wanted to know was if he was going to drive again. He was a sweet man and is severely missed.

A person is seated in a medical treatment chair with an IV line connected to the arm. The individual is wearing a tie-dye sweatshirt and has a blue protective sheet draped over the lap. A patterned blanket covers part of the legs, and a white disposable cup is placed on a small tray nearby. In the background, there is medical equipment including an infusion pump with digital displays, tubing, and a yellow biohazard container. The setting appears to be a clinical or hospital environment.
