good Easter though I did. exhaustion. I'm just gonna remind myself just keep

like I'm a hologram

trying to be the strong one
for everyone
knowing damn you're breaking. It's the worst feeling

I Can't.
thing that really sucks about all of this is that I'm still remaining
positive and optimistic and hopeful
but I know that I have to have faith and believe that God makes no mistakes and
everything happens for a reason but what the fuck is the reason and like I have
to be strong in front of him
I have to
just sucks because I know that somebody always has it worse off and it's just
sometimes being strong is your only option but I can't do that roll over
right now and I have to sucks I refused to give up faith and I refused to give
Hi Ellen, My name is Nathan Histed and I am from Buffalo New York I live in New York
City but I'm back in Buffalo taken care of or spending time with my father he
has been my hero my inspiration my reason to keep going when I wanted to
give up. I wasn't on the best path and I wasn't making the best decisions and I
decided to move to New York City and I think I had maybe four hundred dollars
to my name no plan I'm a graphic designer and photographer I thought what
better city to make it and the Big Apple? and I did, kind of.
and one of the best moment was
to hear my dad say that he can go around and tell his friends
how proud his son he is that's a feeling that no gift or amount no amount of money
no fame or recognition or anything could ever duplicate to know that I made my
dad proud
now I want to make him proud my whole life my dad was the one who inspired
people made people laugh made jokes and and just always put a smile on
everyone's face grocery store small convenience store gas station anywhere
my dad can somehow find someone who needed a smile or a laugh and he did and
does. two months ago he got word that he had a mass of something on his lungs
they weren't entirely sure what it was
and I got a phone call from my uncle saying that I needed to go to Buffalo
that my dad had lung cancer I didn't know what to do I took all the money
that I had bought a plane ticket I have to be here after countless tests
and cat scans and biopsies we still don't know what it is that's happening
the spot on his lung doesn't really look like typical cancer. they're not even
entirely sure if it is cancer the biopsy said that it's not but then
again they did it microscopically and there's a chance that they didn't get
enough of the tissue or the right tissue to provide an accurate explanation as to
what this is but every sign points to that every day I see
every day I see that the shine in the sparkle in my dad's eyes slowly them and
its the most helpless feelling
and If could do anything I would. my mom passed away it'll be
seven years on Halloween and me and my mom were close but me and my dad
we've always been inseparable no matter what I did he always stood up for me he
always had my back
we always said that we would go to Disney and I don't even know if he
remembers this but but I didn't forget think about it every day you can't go
anywhere we have to go to Disney I know it probably seems silly to even make a
video about going to Disney when you're faced with something like this but
I'd love to do that because even though I have faith that everything is gonna work
out the only thing that they gave him as an option is to remove the lower right
lobe of his lung and he has emphysema and COPD he can barely breathe as it is
now you're gonna remove 1/3 of your lung
his job that he worked at for over 20 years
fired him he was set to retire in October he had a life insurance policy
through his work for $200,000 and because he no longer works there he no
longer has that. my father served in the Marines he was a sergeant My father's a
true hero and I just want at the very least the world to know how much he has
impacted and changed and shaped molded influenced inspired every single second
of my life
and I don't know
I don't know what I would do know who I would be if I didn't have him. I hope that this video reaches
you and at the very least touches somebody
no don't take my pride and joy no don't take my daddy
