I got to meet Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart from the Make A Wish Foundation. It was one of the few positives.
My school bully was always after me. His name was Christian. I came back to visit school while on “homebound”. I was finally well enough. He walked up and said “I thought you were dead!” I looked at him and put my hand on his shoulder, and said “Christian, I have cancer. And it’s highly contagious.” He screamed and ran out of the class. It was hilarious.
I was the completely shy kid. I was the absolute introvert. I hated people and dealing with people. I got sick, and figured out quickly that I didn’t have enough time left to let that keep going. So, I forced myself to be different. Now, I’ve done things as much as hosting a conference call with over 1000 people listening to me teaching them. I’ve done presentations to crowds of 2000. I’ve done Karaoke over and over and even did stand-up comedy. Cancer was a horror. But, the things I did to change me, they were a blessing.
That’s an absolutely incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing it.
