Lacking that"camaraderie," Pijanowski sat down and wrote a tribute to his father. He posted the tribute on Twitter, where it has since gone viral with more than 60,000 likes.

No family members were allowed to be with the elder Pijanowski as he was hospitalized and placed on a ventilator, according to Pijanowski. Soon, he slipped into a coma and his kidneys began to fail. Family members have not been able to see Donald John Pijanowski's body and have just been relying on what doctors have told them about his COVID-19 diagnosis and death, according to Pijanowski. The family is now experiencing a different grieving process than usual, unable to gather together and unable to bury their father.Donald John Pijanowski poses with his son in this childhood photo.

“I've heard from lots of nurses and doctors who have assured me that even though they're in a race every minute to save lives, they are taking time to be there for our loved ones when they're in their last breaths, and to touch them and to love them for us” 😭😭
