Donald Ray Whitmore is 63 years old. He lives alone in a four-bedroom house
in Dayton, Ohio. His son Kevin lives in Portland. His daughter Claire lives
in Raleigh. They don't call. They don't visit. And Donald says he understands
why — because he built the silence himself.
This is the story of a man who worked hard, paid his bills, kept the lawn
perfect, and lost everything that mattered. Not in a single moment. In a
thousand small ones.

"I was physically there. But I was completely unreachable."

If you've ever felt too busy for the people who love you — this one is for you.
