Today, my family remembers not only that night my Poppy passed away 9 weeks ago but also, what would have been his 77th birthday.
We went to Pho and ate lots of noodles, his favorite. My gramma cried. My mom remembered. My brother teased. I laughed. B yelled our "Poppy's Birthday Party!" And we celebrated him in the lowkey way he would have wanted.
And then I came home and in memory of him, M and I donated $25 to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation to help find a cure for this horrible disease. My great-great uncle passed away from lung cancer. Poppy was diagnosed with PF a year and a half ago and it took him all too quickly. And shortly after his passing, we found out his sister was diagnosed with the same horrible disease as well.
This disease affects and takes lives.
If you have a dollar, please consider donating it to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation today to help find a cure.
For all those who have suffered, are suffering and will suffer.
Donate for them.
Happiest of Birthdays Poppy.
