How could someone choose to just keep living their regular life after that? Just, go back to work after recovering from the organ transplant. Imagine sitting in traffic to go to stare at a screen and answer calls for 8 hours, knowing that the only reason you can keep living that kind of life is because your own child was chopped up and is keeping you alive.

Likely he was working because his parent couldn’t.

Expect a follow up good - news about how some of the funeral and medical bills were paid as a tax deductible charity by the logging company

Optimistic of you!

I assume he was working to supplement his parent's income to make ends meet.

Yeah. She was probably still working while on a waitlist.
