My dad chose MAID in March of 2023 after a difficult journey with multiple myeloma.

He was one of the first adventurers I ever met. There was always a mischievous twinkle in his eye – a desire to unearth the unknown. Above all, he showed me the power of connecting with others.

Dad knew exactly how he wanted to live his last days, and how he wanted to exit. Surrounded by his dear friend, my partner Braeden, and myself, he passed shortly after lunchtime (and another pound of chicken wings). He went with dignity right after making the whole room laugh.

Navigating MAID can feel so isolating. I am forever grateful that MFSS was recommended to me and that Sig was available to support me throughout. I am humbled to now volunteer and connect with others on their own MAID journeys.
