“Last time I had a heart attack. I’m in the hospital. I don’t want to die. Please let me live,” he pleaded.

This is one of the most heartbreaking videos I have watched.
Dear parents, sometimes it costs nothing to show up for your children, to listen to them, and to help them when they need you most regardless of the misunderstandings you two be having.
