His wake up call is that there is no one there for him, the only people there are 1 out of 3 sons, me and 1 of my daughters, a nephew, his sister my mother and his wife and her son.
In over 70 years of life and only 8 people to see you before you go???
Maybe that wont be something that he thinks about...it's more that that's how I would feel if it were reversed!
