Seven years ago today, my wife Katie had surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. The prior year, Katie had surgery to remove breast cancer. Today, she is cancer free.
I wrote an essay entitled “Alone No Longer” about how setting my work aside to focus on being with and helping Katie and our daughters changed my perspective on life. The essay has been read by many individuals who want to know how they can help people in their lives who are battling a serious illness. The essay also challenges readers to examine their own lives to consider if they are too focused on status and achievement and insufficiently focused on relationships. I hope you’ll take time to read “Alone No Longer,” reflect on your life and share the essay with friends who might benefit from reading it.
