I choose life

Ethan,
I don't want to die.  I have abused my body for years by eating garbage and doing little to no exercise.  I want to live.  I want to live to see you graduate from High School, I want to live to see you graduate from college and get married.  I want to live to see you live.  You and your Mom are the most important people to me and I have to fight now to keep myself around for you and her.

Love,
Dad
