So last July, my mom passed after fighting liver cancer. A couple of weeks ago, my dad passed after fighting NPH. I'm depressed but one thing keeps sticking out that makes me happy.

My dad is an IU grad and absolutely hated UK basketball. The day he was dying, I was by his side and the Ole Miss vs. Kentucky game was on. Ole Miss was kicking the **** out of Kentucky that game so I just kept updating him on the score. He was non-responsive but the Hospice nurse said that he could hear me. It made me happy to believe he could hear UK getting stomped on his last day with us.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
