Congratulations Jo! I wish I wasn't so anal about not skipping to the end, that was edge of my seat, touch and go if I'd make it to the end. I am so relieved and happy for you!
Thank you 🫶 And I absolutely love your piece. I remembered it from eight months ago and had to give it a shoutout. (At that time I was never out of sodding waiting rooms and it spoke to me hard.) x
Do you realize how much you lived in the past few days. It was dress up day and you tried on every emotion.
Some people don't live that much in their whole life.
You're lucky.
I almost died once. Everyone thought I might but didn't want to say it out loud.
Magenta fog and peaceful is my memory of it. Just two hospital floor tiles forward and I was there. No one could hold me accountable. I was cleared for takeoff.
I'd never before felt so complete and content staring at that subway car door leading to the next destination.
There will be things unfinished when my time comes. Some will be discarded and others will be completed by others.
This epiphany took place in 2003 and I have not been afraid of death since.
15 years later in 2018 I met the love of my life. She was already in Heaven, which is another level of understanding.
Suffice to say I welcome the day now.
You almost died. Now you have a new compass for the rest of your life. You'll never take time for granted again.
You will live a better life than you ever could have before all of this happened to you.
If I learn that tomorrow is my last day, then it will simply be the next thing to do.
You might have five hours or seventy years. Enjoy them and strive to make each moment count.
Perhaps someone else will learn to live by your example.
I haven't watched cake or death in years, so thank you for that.
Brilliant piece of writing and truly excellent news, so happy for you and your family.
