I enjoyed reading the interview with you, even though it feels strange to say that I enjoyed reading about another person’s struggles. What resonates with me is your ability to find meaning and purpose in spite of the stroke that upended your life.

As a leukemia survivor, I had to grapple with creating a life that’s different than I envisioned for myself before my diagnosis. Finding meaning and purpose has been a journey for me as well.

Thank you, and congratulations on your fight against leukemia.

In the years since my stroke, I have learned that for me, the best way to stay uplifted is to try to lift up others.

I had imagined a very different retirement, but I'm grateful to still be alive and able to do as much as I can.

Thanks again for your comment.
