My three kids never visited me once while I was dying of cancer…
but a rough, tattooed biker I’d never met held my hand every single day.
I’m 73, lying in a hospice bed with stage-four lung cancer.
I raised three children alone after their mother ran off. I worked 70-hour weeks. Paid for college, weddings, down payments, everything.
And now I’m dying alone.
Not one of them has visited in six months.
Stephanie lives 20 minutes away — she’s “too busy” with her country club friends.
Michael called once. Said he might “try” to come, but he’s “swamped.”
David said hospice was “too depressing” and he’d “remember me the way I was.”
So I spent four months alone. Nurses checked my vitals. Chaplain came once a week. But no family. No one who cared that my time was almost over.
Until last Tuesday.
A huge biker with a gray beard down to his chest walked into my room by mistake. Boots, patches, leather vest. He was looking for his buddy’s dad. Wrong door.
He turned to leave…
then saw my Purple Heart on the nightstand.
“You served?” he asked.
“Vietnam,” I croaked. “Sixty-eight to seventy.”
He stepped back into the room, stood at attention, and SALUTED.
“THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, BROTHER.”
Nobody had called me brother in 50 years.
He sat beside me. “You got family coming today?”
I shook my head.
“How long since someone visited?”
Six fingers.
His jaw clenched. “SIX MONTHS? You’re DYING and no one’s been here?”
I nodded.
“You got kids?”
Three fingers.
“Three kids and NONE of them visit their father?” His voice shook with anger. “Where the hell ARE they?”
I whispered their names. Their addresses. Their excuses.
Marcus listened. Then leaned close.
“Brother… I can’t make them love you. But I can make DAMN SURE they regret abandoning you. You want that?”
I nodded.
He grinned. Like a man who’d just found a mission.
“Good. Because I got a plan. And it’s going to HAUNT them for the rest of their lives.”
