Upon being dropped off later that evening, Megan’s dad told her he would see her in the morning. Unfortunately, that wouldn’t happen, that night Megan’s dad David had a heart attack. March 2020, Megan’s grief became compounded with mixed emotions, unexplained anxiety. Megan felt like she had no peers to relate to.

Bottling up unspoken emotions, Megan found herself suppressing her feelings alone. Megan then in that moment decided erect David’s Daughter to address so many other children who find themselves in the same place Megan’s been in.
