And I don't treat her differently.

I really don't.

When I went clubbing, she came clubbing.

She loved it.

And I'd go to gay clubs and I'd take her and she would just have the best time and people absolutely loved her.

So I never treated her differently.

Of course, she needed more support and more help.

But don't get me wrong, if you're a caregiver, it is exhausting and it takes a lot of work.

It's not easy.

But it's just she's like my little best friend.

So watching my dad die, I always said to myself, I don't want to be him.

Two days before he died, I was on the couch, and I remember listening to him say, call my old brothers and sisters in and apologize for the first time in his life.

And he was crying, and he was like, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I wasn't there.

I'm sorry I did all of this.

And I was sitting in the lounge, and I'm going...

What was he doing?

I didn't understand that.

But I knew in that moment as a kid, as a really little kid, don't ever be him.

And so everything I've done in my life is unapologetically me.
