This quote reminds me of my aunt which died from cancer not to long ago. My aunt was very young when she died from cancer and it was very sad. When she told us that she had cancer it was already stage four cancer because she was hiding it from us for a while. She was in chemotherapy for a very long time and we thought she was getting better. Later on she made a wish to take a trip to Europe with her sisters. They were worried about that because they would have to take her out of her chemotherapy. They still fulfilled her wish and they went to Europe with her. When she got back she was very joyful. But after a month or two she died from cancer right after my mom visited her. She died the same day my cousin's grandma also died from cancer. We were devastated but we were glad that she went to Europe before she died.
“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”
(from Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas, page 70)
I'm sorry about the loss of your aunt, Saul. :(
