I certainly got advice and guidance that led me away from going to college in Los Angeles, where I was born. planning to attend the University of Southern California and to go closer to home at Michigan because I had a younger sister who was still in high school at that time. But other than that, the decisions were mine, and I felt very clear that that was the pathway through.

We're not. Our relationship really, I would say, was deeply challenged when I was in high school and then going into college. She disappeared from our lives for long stints, twice in a four and a half year period of time. And so by the time I graduated from college, I think I had one more go in me then to attempt to have a relationship with her. She had been away for two and a half years.

We didn't know where she was. At one point, I thought maybe she had died. And we just had no word of her whereabouts. And I learned after naively wanting to believe that perhaps she was better, she had gotten married again, and she was living in what seemed like a much more stable environment. I thought she was doing well. And I learned when I was 22 years old that she was still using drugs.

And it was then that I made the very conscious decision to walk away from our relationship and And we've been estranged since then. That's over 20 years. Over 20 years. It's been since 2002.

The conversation I had when he, well, he suffered a stroke and my sister was the one who had called me about it. When that happened, he was incapacitated. He was in the ICU. It took me back to the last conversation that we had had years prior where he had reached out to me. And his outreach was always so random. And so I could never understand what prompted a phone call or anything.

But in this instance... he had called me to wish me a happy birthday. And he didn't know that I lived in New York at that point in time, that I had enrolled in business school at NYU. And it just sent me into a rage. I was so angry when he said that he was proud of me. And I couldn't believe that he had the audacity to have pride for something that he couldn't take credit for.

And as he was in the ICU and There was a question of his recovery at all from the stroke that had placed him there. I just remembered that conversation and that event. And it was such a difficult moment. I wrestled with what to do. Do I try to go be by his bedside? Do I continue to keep the distance that I've had all of these years? What would that even look like?
