Would've fantastic story. I am a 76 year-old woman whose had breast cancer twice who is the mother of two breast cancer survivors the daughter of a breast cancer survivor and 10 months ago I had a heart attack. I had two cardiac arrest. I had a one percent chance of surviving. They told my family to plan my funeral. I had not any chance of living. Three doctors felt I should not get CPR but one fabulous Cardiologist said I'm going to save this woman he put me on life-support where I was unresponsive for four days and on the fifth day I opened my eyes. I won the lottery. My rabbi told me I won the lottery. So thank you for sharing your story
I lost my mother and brother to ALS. Mom was 71, Bro was 54. I spent 5 weeks (not in a row) this Spring and Summer in Fresno dealing with my MIL who has never been the least bit accepting of me. For 45 years since my husband brought me to meet the family. She turned 90 in July. Yeah, the lottery is a hit or miss. Of our 4 parents, the healthiest, most active of them was my Mom. Who was the first to go. The least active, unhealthy was my MIL who is the one closing the door. Yeah. The lottery sucks big time. I am glad you are beating the lottery. I wish my Mother or brother had better odds. They deserved more.
I absolutely love what you've written. It speaks to me on countless levels. I've come to see my struggles as gifts to give others. I, too, am a cancer survivor and I also survived a bone marrow transplant. Even though I was originally diagnosed in 1986 and had a transplant in 1990, I still seek out others needing love and support. I could go on and on. You are truly a shining star in the spiritual adventure world. I look forward to following your writing.

What a powerful story. Thanks for sharing it!
This made me realize how much I have missed your columns both in The Plain Dealer and the Beacon Journal. So glad I found you on Substack.
So glad you found me here! Thanks for reading me all those years. I loved both of those papers.

I wish they had lived longer, too. I hope the best of them continues to bless you.
