Thoughts and observations on mental health, technology, social media, photography and more. (Ok, mostly on mental health, but my aspirations are always to add more content on other topics.)

Honoring My Dad's Passing by Thanking Paris Thomas

My dad passed away 16 years ago on October 1, 2009 six months after a heart transplant. His last stay in the hospital lasted two and a half weeks. One of the ways I honored his memory was by remembering Paris Thomas, a security guard at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
