I've just started to read When Breath Becomes Air (just started meaning I'm 70 pages in), and nothing warms my heart more than the fact that he went to Stanford. I naively didn't know that before I picked up the book. Reading his experiences makes me long for life even more. He talked about this essay in his Prologue and I knew I wanted to read it soon.
A rather sad but beautiful essay of his reflection.
Before my cancer was diagnosed, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. After the diagnosis, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. But now I knew it acutely. The problem wasn’t really a scientific one. The fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live.
