I talked to my uncle today and he told me the story of his father who passed not too long ago and the confusing relationship they shared.

Today I talk to Jesse Angeles, who tells me about his good friend he had in high school named Natalie who tragically passed away. She was a seemingly normal girl who got along with everybody and you’d never expect her to be struggling in such a way, but when she passed, Jesse and many of her loved ones realized things weren’t as they seemed.
