9. Thank you for everything
As a child, I had severe asthma and had to be intubated for a powerful attack a few times. My parents followed instructions to take better precautions in our home like dusting more, washing bed sheets, etc., and the unique thing is NO SMOKE in the house. So my parents agreed to all of these.
I was back in the hospital a few weeks later. A doctor recognized me and came to talk. Then he leaned down and sniffed my head. He told a nurse to sit there and wouldn’t let me go home to my parents. When my parents showed up, he asked blankly: “Didn’t you understand what I told you last time? Do you understand these attacks can be fatal? But we opened the windows and stopped smoking in her room when we put her to bed.” Parents of the century.
