I remember when my Mom was dying of cancer, it struck me that I would rather have been in her place, knowing I was going to die soon, but having the ability to enjoy the time I had while alive…because she had the most intensely positive mindset, and so much love and happiness and even joy, despite knowing it would soon end.
