'Do you want me to kiss you again?' She goes, 'Uh-uh. Uh-uh.' That's what I got from her."

That tore me up.

"That tore me up"

... Me too, it seems the older I get the more sentimental I get.
...I think the reason it touched me so much to read that is that I have a 33 year old daughter and that is exactly what she would say. She doesn't like cheek kisses and when I greet her it's with a peck on the lips or kiss on her fore head. I don't understand this aversion of hers and once in a while I'll give her a smack on the cheek just to aggravate her.
...At 33 years old my daughter is a woman but just as Terri is to Bob Schindler, my daughter is still my little girl.

*That tore me up.*

The same night that Terri was taken to the hospital to be hydrated, her brother, Bobby, was a guest on CoastToCoastAM talk radio. He said that when his father went to see Terri, he said to her - "Honey, we're gonna get you a milkshake" and she smiled. Later, she called him - "Dad".
