Paper

Matthew Walsh
"The biggest milestone I'm going to be upset he misses is when I graduate medical school. I told him not to come to my white coat ceremony because I was like oh you'll just come to my graduation in 4 years. How am I supposed to guess my 58 year old dad was going to start dying two weeks after that. I had no idea."
Bryce Mazurkiewicz
"I think we're doing the best we can to keep things how we've done them because that's what he would want us to do, he would never want us to change our lives but at first you kinda have to make adjustments."
Molly Walsh
“Losing my dad so young was obviously really hard especially when you have older people in your ear telling you you’re too young to lose a father. I wish it didn’t happen. I think that moving forward it gives you a new perspective you realize that life really is short and you don’t know what’s going to happen."
Katelyn Hutchinson
"It was just hard to deal with mainly because I literally saw him like 3 days before it happened. I think when it's like that close, it just makes it more difficult, because it's like things are literally normal, like less than 72 hours ago. Now my whole life is going in a different direction."
Laura Ward
"There’s a lot of learning that happens in early adulthood. I think we never stop learning, but certainly we haven’t had these kind of experiences of like the death of a parent. That doesn’t happen all the time. So that kind of experience is so impactful. we don’t have the skills to do it because we haven’t done it before, just like anyone at any age."
Molly Walsh
“Being at school was super hard. I did not want to be there at all. I knew that I was there for a reason but every single weekend I just wanted to stay home. Anytime I was back I was thinking about the next time I could go home. Your head is in a completely different space and then you hear people talk about minor inconveniences and it makes you think omg that so does not matter."
