What is going on everyone and welcome back to the channel? I hope you're all doing well.

Now today I've got for you a particularly sad Reddit story.

I'm not going to waste any time, let's get straight into it. All I will say is be prepared. It is a sad one, a very, very tragic tale.

Make sure you are subscribed to the channel if you do go on to enjoy this episode. And yeah, let's get into it.

I'm 22 years old and just got the news I'm dying.

I failed at life and I'm now leaving behind a three-year-old daughter.

Now the original post came on November 26, 2023.

As the title says, last week I got the news that I am dying from lung cancer from my doctor.

It turns out that smoking since I was 15 and then upping it to three packs each day a few years ago was a bad idea.

Stupid, I know, I thought it wouldn't come so soon though.

It's stage 4 and as of now I have months to live. Please don't feel bad for me. I've done nothing good in life except to have my daughter to really be sad about losing me. I've got no family because I grew up in the foster system and I aged out at 18.

My daughter's father is in prison for serious crimes to the extent that even if he got out he wouldn't be allowed to be in her life.

My daughter is only three. We don't live in a good area and when I go to work I have to leave her with an elderly neighbor that always gets her name wrong every day. I don't want her to grow up like I did in that foster care system. I feel like it's the reason why I messed up and did nothing good of my life.

Yeah, I know it's not the only reason and my own stupidity caused most of my issues, but if I just had some family or a support

system to keep me in check, it could have been better. I just want to give her some chance

to have a better shot than I did. The thing is, I do have an idea for who could take care of her.

One of my closest friends is a coworker at my job, and she's amazing.

While I'm at the bottom of the job, like if they need to lay off people, I would definitely be the first to go.

She is their prized worker and makes serious bank. She has a good husband and a kid.

I want to ask her if she'd be okay with adopting my little girl once I'm gone, but I know it won't go well.

The thing is, my co-worker and her family are black, and me and my daughter are white.

Like we both have blue eyes and can't tan white.
