Most days I remember how blessed my life is. I breathe deeply and live fully in the moment. I’m not afraid to open my arms and my heart completely. I’d rather be open and get hurt occasionally than forget to live. <\/p>\n

As I reach out to my dear friend John<\/a>, who is courageously savoring each moment…I’m totally humbled by his grace under fire. I can only pray that I will be so noble if life ever deals such a wicked challenge to me.<\/p>\n

The fragility of life couldn’t be more apparent to me today.<\/p>\n

“I know there are lots of errors in this text. Some of them are ordinary, everyday mistakes that I would have made anytime and corrected without a second thought. Some are not.

Maybe not. I find it very painful to let the mistakes be.” – John Slatin’s Leukemia Letters<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
