She's just by my side.

But I got to tell you the story from just before that conversation, right before I was – or about two months before I was discharged from the hospital.

It was New Year's Eve 2010.

And –

I was just sort of, I just got in chemo, I was just sort of like finally well enough to walk around the hospital.

And my dad and I decided to do a walk on December 31st, New Year's Eve night, about 8 p.m.

And so I've got this huge belly, my head's bald from chemo, I've got my,

infusion that I'm rolling with.

And we pass by the family waiting area on the cancer floor.

And there's a guy who's like visibly drunk.

He's sort of like swaying in his chair on this unit.

And we come by the next time and he's falling onto the ground.

And so my dad runs over to him and helps him back into his chair.

And he looks at my dad and I, and he says, thanks so much.

Good luck to you and your wife.

And we're like, wife, what is he talking about?

Then I looked down at my belly and I realized he thinks that I'm my dad's pregnant wife and that we are walking laps to deliver our baby on New Year's Eve.

And so I turned to my dad and go, man, you've got an ugly wife.

And we just die laughing.

But like,
