It was a very unusual conversation for him to kind of shower affection like that.
And in that conversation, I remember having this pit in my stomach and thinking, I got to tell him, like, I'm not gonna tell him right now, but I got to tell him I have to sit down with him and let the chips fall where they may.
And he died that night.
He died six hours after that conversation.
Oh, my God.
And so I never got a chance to never had a chance to actually talk to him about it.
So he passed away July 14th of 2016.
And my uncle, his brother had died two weeks earlier.
And then a month later, my grandmother and a close friend died on the same day.
So I was just in this whirlwind of my worldview's gone, my mentor's gone, all of this death, and then the campaign that is happening at the same time.
It was a really overwhelming time, but I never actually got to tell him.
I wish I could have.
I do wish I could have had that conversation with him.
But my dad, one of the things my dad had a very hard line on was he did not tolerate people that cheated on their spouse.
That was a big, hard line for my dad.
And that was the reason he didn't like Trump.
He was like, I will say to my father's credit that he held Trump to the same moral standard he held Bill Clinton to.
So I I think I think that it's possible that my dad wouldn't have voted that fall.
He really hated Hillary, too.
And I think there's a chance that he would have either voted third party or he would have not voted, which would have been a huge act of protest for him.
