Sensitive, artful production here. A cat scan test running under the intimate words of a father with cancer. He's thinking out loud about protecting the children from his pain and suffering: "They have enough to worry about in their own lives." And about keeping his spirits positive: "If they're talking gloom and doom around me, I'm just not going down that road." We hear from his children, too, and it grabs your heart, the whole picture. Lots of parents have cancer. Air this for them. Air this for their kids.
