#157: Honoring Her Dad Through Pancakes: A Daughter's Story of Love and Loss #PancakesForRoger

About this episode

A heartwarming story of a father and daughter torn apart by cancer, but forever bonded together by an unbreakable relationship.

Today's guest, Susan L Combs is the daughter of Maj. Gen. Roger E. Combs and it is their story that is told inside of today's episode.

Pancakes For Roger: A Mentorship Guide for Slaying Dragons was written by Susan L Combs and explores the many lessons learned from mentors throughout her life. The book was dedicated to Susan's late father, Maj. Gen. Roger E. Combs. Susan really opens up, allowing us the chance to understand the kind of relationship she had with her dad. We begin to understand what it was like for Susan to be back home, caring for her father... The good times, the sad times, and the times that can never be forgotten.

I recommend having some tissues nearby as you dive into today's beautiful conversation had with a daughter, telling us about her dad.
