In May 2007 I was asked by a family friend who had just been diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer to be her primary caretaker when she left the hospital. She lived nine months and I consider the time I spent working with her to be one of the most fulfilling and intense experiences of my life. It's impossible for me to describe in words the wealth of knowledge I gained from working for her, but suffice to say I feel like I received secrets about life from heaven itself.
She loved Fat Bastard white wine, pepperoni pizza with jalapenos, and chocolate. If you find yourself around any of these things this evening, have a bite or a sip in her honor.
