All the things that were so important five minutes ago, when you got that diagnosis or you got told we can't do anything more.

Like when my mom had her last cancer surgery before she passed away 10 years ago,

They had said, this is gonna be about a 12 hour surgery.

And there's gonna be a team of surgeons working because there's different spots we have to.

So we like tucked in at the waiting room at Sloan Kettering.

We're like, okay, we're gonna be here a really long time.

20 minutes later, they came in and they said, it's like a bomb went off.

Like the cancer is everywhere.

We opened her up, we closed her up.

There's nothing we can do.

And in that moment, all of the other things,

that I was stressed about and worried about and all that, the volume was turned so far down on all those things because my mom was gonna die.

Like, and I, all that became important was how can I spend a little more time with her?

How can I make sure she knows I love her?

How can I savor this, this wonderful thing, which by the way, you're dying.

Like Lisa's dying.

There is a finite number of times you will kiss your wife.

You don't know the number, but it's a number.

Like I'll be able to tell you it someday.

Like there's a finite number though.
