The doctors tell us that the rare, very aggressive, sarcoma cancer has metastasized to the part of Steve’s brain called the hippocampus. This is the part of the brain that is affected in Alzheimer patients, so he presents some of the same symptoms and behaviors. Yesterday, during a particularly lucid moment for Steve, I decided to ask him some questions and videoed his answers.
“Steve, before you die what would you want your son, Patrick, to know?”
“Everything I don’t know. And explain God earlier than I learned Him.”
“What things do you want your daughter Nili to know?”
“Learn and know God and learn that He is more of a God than other people think.”
“What is the most important thing you want your daughter, Joanna, to know?”
“Always love her.”
“What do you want your wife, Robbie, to know and remember?”
“Always love her the best I know how.”
“What do you want your mother to know?”
“That she’ll always be loved.”
Are there things you always wanted to tell those you love, but haven’t taken the time or the opportunity to do it? Now is that time.
