Only those who have lived with a long term illness, know that you don’t want to be remembered as being sick. Sickness makes you a lousy friend, terrible daughter, horrible sister and a lousy wife. You want to be known for being vibrant, energized and happy. In my case, it’s not my children or career that I want to be known for. (I have neither.)
Instead, I’d like to be known for being kind. It might even be too late for that.
