But at the age of six, I was told your mom's got six months to live.

And I didn't really understand what that meant.

But when it happened again, when I was 11, and now they said, okay, she's got six months to live.

And this time it had impinged on her uterus and her ovaries, so they had to take her uterus and her ovaries.

Well, over the course of the next 15 years or so, my mom ended up having like five or so, every five or six months, they would tell us she had six months to live.

and they would do a surgery and they would take another piece of her.

They would take part of her bowel.

They would take part of her.

And it took her away from us because she was just constantly recovering from surgery, recovering from chemo.

Like it was just, death was just ever present.

It was always there.

And so I think that I just, I was just very, I couldn't deny

death.

It was just always there.

And so I wasn't, you know, I wasn't, I wanted to move towards it.

I didn't want to run from it.

Like I was afraid of spiders.

I didn't like spiders.

And by the way, it's really, if you're going to be afraid of something, be afraid of spiders rather than death.

Because everyone you know is going to die and you're going to die.
