My uncle coached little league for 19 years. Knew every kid's name in the neighborhood. Shoveled elderly neighbors' driveways without being asked.
Colon cancer at 61.
His "good insurance" had a $9,000 out-of-pocket max.
per year.
treatment took three years.
he had to sell the house his father built with his hands.
he told me he feels like he failed his dad.
A man who coached other people's children for free for two decades feels like a failure
because he got sick.
