He hadn't talked kids and almost 20 years. When he had his heart attack, I convinced him to call them. They all cried and promised to keep in touch with each other. They lived 400 miles apart and were unable financially to make the Trek and either direction. I did give him a cell phone but he didn't want it and gave it back. He had his own cell phone and promised to turn it back on. He was doing well and was capable of taking care of himself. He was the one who cancelled employment.
