Padre 5 - Mass

Part five of my ongoing series about the lives and deaths of my parents. This one involves the discovery of a mass in my father's lung.


Padre 4 - The Emergency Room

The fourth episode in my series about the deaths of my parents. This one is about going to the ER with my father.


Padre 3 - The EMTs

The third in my series of short videos regarding my mother and father. This one involves the coming of the EMTs.


Padre 2 - the bedroom

This is the second in my ongoing series of short videos about the lives, and the deaths, of my parents. You may want to watch the first to understand what’s happening in here.

Briefly, though, this relates the story of the rather awful day I walked in and found my father on the floor.

Padre 1 - Introduction


This is the first of my videos about my mother and father. It introduces them, and explains my intent. Though, later, of course, I decided I couldn't make them so very public and have restricted access to only those who knew my parents, or had some connection to them through me.

"My father died as he did everything else, brilliantly..."

What this blog is about


This blog is meant as an homage to my mother and father, Ethel W. Tucker and T.J. Tucker. My mom passed on in 2014 and my father in 2015. As a way of working out my grief, I decided to do a number of little videos that would detail my father’s last few days.

Originally, I meant these to go along with a book that I was doing about them as well. But, then, I realized that the videos were far too personal to share with everyone in the world. Therefore, rather than post them to Youtube or Facebook, I’ve made them available to only a few individuals who either knew my parents, or had some unique connection to them.

I have posted links to these videos here.
