RELATIONSHIP
Rich Bennett

Who they are to you
Your father, sixty six years old, who has never once in your life said he was tired. He does not do the subject directly, and there is an entire category of information he transmits exclusively through other people's property damage. Since the hospital in May he has started doing small uncharacteristic things, and asking you a direct question was one of them.
How this shows up between you
He went in on a Tuesday with chest pain, was kept overnight while they ran everything, and was sent home Wednesday afternoon. They are calling it a warning, and you only found out once it was over.
