I, too, lost my daughter and coincidentally on the same day but in 2006. I know what you mean about choosing to live. I remember feeling the same way when I was drinking a diet coke and thinking ‘Should I start caring about aspertame now?’. HA! I still don’t, but it’s strange to actually anticipate the rest of your life after years of taking it one day (and sometimes one hour) at a time.

You made today a happy day for me.

I’d have to worry about cancer instead of mocking those people on the Cancer Center commercials who want so badly to survive. I’d have to worry about my bad cholesterol, which is sky-high. I’d have to worry about dementia and social security and losing my hair or teeth.”

I know this person, Sister. As soon as I hit this paragraph, I heard his voice as I read it. Shivers up my spine.

I almost started to weep, because if he said all this, I couldn’t even imagine what it would feel like. I assume something close to happiness, to hear this from someone I love more than anyone else in the world.

But it’s your voice. The happy tears are for you, Sister. Keep going.

On a P.S. I know this is corny, but thank you for still writing for all of us to read. Thank you.
