William Angel was twelve years old when his father died.
“I feel you. I know what was the case. I was 16 when my father died,” says Pollard Lilliam. “I was another in my family to see him alive.”
“God, I will grow up without my father”
Pollard went to browse on the morning of October 28, 1991, for the category of physical education he was taking in Torrey Pines High in San Diego.
While he was getting out of the beach, he drove his father in a white truck. Pearl was the director of public works in the city of Solana Beach, who confirmed that the roads were taken care of and the sand was roaming.
When Pollard observed his father, he raised his hand and wave. Pearl stopped and asked, “What are the children do?” Pollard told his father that they have just finished breaking the surfing. “Go back to school,” Pearl said.
“I said,” well, my father. “He said,” Take care. ” This was the last thing he said. “
Two hours later, Pollard’s friend called him. “Scott, I have just seen your father’s car. I crashed, and there are paramedics working on it.”
Matt Pearl Pollard. He died when his heart failed when the truck that he was driving was spinning was spinning through a stop mark and communicating with a parking lot, then came to rest against some parked cars. Pearl died waiting for the heart transplant.
The anatomy of the body said the cause of death is myocardial disease. It was 54.
One year before his death, Pearl was diagnosed with heart issues, but he was sick for a longer period. The family noticed that he was sleeping a lot, and coming out. Pearl was talking to them and the next thing they knew, his skin was gray and was outside.
Finally, they persuaded him to go to the doctor, who told Pearl that he needed to put him in the heart transplant menu. But at 6-9 and 380 lbs, doctors said, it will be difficult to find a big heart enough.
“We knew it was the death penalty,” Pollard says in the movie. “Therefore, it is clear, 16 years old, this type of defect in my mind.”
Pollard was still sixteen years old while standing at his father’s funeral, unable to believe and accept the man he loved and looked at a lot.
“He was a giant of a man in every possible way. Everyone loved my father,” Pollard said. “Everywhere I went to Utah when I was a young child.” You are the son of Pearl, right. Is this child? “
Now, Pearl went and Pollard was facing a dark reality.
He said, “I was just thinking,” My God, I will do his best without my father. “On the other hand, I was angry at him for not taking care of himself better.”
Bullard’s sister, Lin Gorf, says in the movie, she remembers her brother’s embrace, in an attempt to satisfy him, trying to make him feel better.
“Just a look at his face. There was nothing to reinforce,” she said. “His worse fear of his father has just lost.”
“I will respect my father”
In the Torrey Pines basketball season, the team wore a black team on the memory of pearls and as a way to show its support for Burdard. He changed his shirt to No. 31, his father number.
Gorf said, “He said:” I will respect my father. “I am the son of the poison.”
Pearl Pollard was a prominent high school basketball player and at the University of Utah, nicknamed “poison” because he was a killer on the field, it was as if he had poisoned his opponents. Playing basketball was something Pollard did to his father. Now, go.
“We have suffered a lot to pick up a basketball and we did not have his father. We hit the wall and slipped into the ground, we cry, and it took some time.” I told him, “It’s okay. You don’t have to. My father will never push you. My father will tell you to do what you have to do. “
Pollard knew what he was doing.
“The real reason that made me succeed in basketball is that my father died. This was the catalyst. My father was passing through everything inside me and angered me,” Pollard said. “The bats (obscene) went.
Pollard took his anger and turned a passion and fragmentation on the field while playing at Kansas University and then in the American Professional League. He was known for his uncompromising competitive engine. Just like his father.
15 years after Pollard’s retirement from the American Professional League, he found himself restoring life on the same health journey that his father lived.
“We have to talk about the transplant,” d. Sunit-preet S. ChaudhryASCENSION ST. Vincent, he told Pollard in September 2023. Pollard was less breath, his skin was gray and was sleeping all the time.
“I thought, well, I will die,” Pollard told Indystar inside his Carmel house in December. “I was sixteen years old when my father died on the list of transplants because in 1991 I was unable to plant a giant. That’s all. I would die just like my father.”
Doctors have tried to encourage Pollard that medicine had come a long way for more than three decades since his father dies due to heart muscle disease, a heart muscle disease that weakens the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. There was a good chance to find a big heart enough for the brutal Bollard body.
Pollard, who played in the 11 -year -old American Professional League, said to Indiana Basars From 2003 to 2006. “You know what?
Praise be to God, (Dawn) spoke some meaning with me. “
Pollard could not abandon his failed heart. He could not leave behind dawn and his four children. He might be the son of poison, but he would have taken a different path from his father.
In February 2024, Pollard got his new heart. Angel’s heart. When he woke up, realize how close he is to death. It was very grateful. He knew that he had to meet a giving family.
“Thank you, comrades, for making this decision (to donate Angell members),” Pollard told the family in the movie Espn. “Because if you did not make the decision, I may not be here.”
