I request your prayers, anons. My dad is going to have his jab today, AstraZeneca. He's a teacher over here and they've been mandated to take it. I warned him, but he doesn't listen.

He is the strongest, most responsible man I have ever met and a truly good person whom we've had, perhaps, strained relations with due to how life was for us these last 20 years. We love him, we need him, we desperately need him with us, there are three of us sick from different ailments (diabetes, multiple sclerosis, dementia) in this house and he took on a titanic effort to support us all throughout.

God, I haven't prayed in 25 years, today was the first time I attempted to pray honestly. Not for my own sake, because I'm already doomed, but for my father, who didn't do anything to deserve it and who is the last column supporting our family. Please, please don't let this evil take him away.
