The Morning Everything Changed

Have you ever woken up with a feeling you couldn't shake? That morning, I knew something was wrong. My husband Peter and my mother were both fighting cancer, both supposedly improving, yet dread wrapped around me like a shroud. Hours later, at Memorial Sloan Kettering, my fears crystallized into devastating reality. Peter's tumors were growing aggressively. "I'm not going to make it," he said, handing me a handwritten list. At the top: "Cancel the divorce." Our storybook romance had fractured through tragedy and misunderstanding, but now we faced something far more immediate than our marital problems-we were running out of time. This is the story of what happens when life stops being theoretical and becomes urgently, painfully real. It's about learning to love fiercely when tomorrow isn't guaranteed, about finding strength in the rubble of loss, and discovering that sometimes the universe teaches us its most important lessons through the people we lose.
