You know, I once read a short story about how much you could tell about people from their shoes. You could tell where they had been, what they did, whether they were real walkers.

I'm part of a community that holds each other up, and it's been great to be held up too.

You know, there are no guarantees on prognosis.

A lot of sad stories in a row - that wears on you.

I'm a recovering lawyer. The practice of law has changed. Every agreement is a fight.

My job is to stay alive until the medicine and research catch up.

I want to reclaim who I am.
