So I think that's also really helpful.

Totally.

Yes, yeah, yeah.

Can I just come sit with you?

This looks so hard.

The way Paul got diagnosed was he'd been getting sicker and sicker.

And then he ultimately got the news that he had a chest x-ray that essentially looked like a cloudy sky.

I mean, it was like dense with tumors.

We both knew what it meant.

You know, we're going to the hospital tomorrow for a CT scan.

It's going to show, you know, metastatic cancer.

And it was so interesting because as we were packing for this hospital stay, he was going to go and get expedited workup.

I was packing like practical things like phone charger, insurance card, like fuzzy socks or whatever.

And he packed books.

It was so interesting.

He packed Being in Time by Heidegger and Mere Christianity by C.S.

Lewis and then a novel called Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn.

And it was this sort of like immediate recognition of like the doctor stuff is not going to help me.

Like I need to turn to words and literature and I just need to turn to like the human experience of this.
