Dr. Todd Rose

Stuff I couldn't tell my parents, whatever.

It was like literally amazing.

It was this oasis for me in a really tough environment.

We've been sleeping over, sleeping over, sleeping over.

Then one time she says, hey, good news.

I'm taking you to Sizzler, your grandpa and I, this steakhouse, this all-you-can-eat steakhouse.

And I was like...

I don't, I was like, I don't really want to go to, it's noisy there.

Like, I just want to be here.

But I knew it meant a lot to them.

So I went with it.

And that's what we started doing.

Instead of just playing Yahtzee, we'd go to Sizzler.

And that went on for six years.

Okay.

So in 2015, we found out she was dying.

And I went back to Utah where I was born to say goodbye to her.

And I was preparing, I was like, my last conversation I'm ever going to have with this woman that meant the world to me.

And I'm holding her hand and we're talking about a lot of things.

And I thought, you know, I want to just let her know how transformative those sleepovers were to me.
