because she was an adolescent you know and at the same time she very much did not want to die and she would tell us sometimes she would cry about it uh in one email that i read that she sent to someone that was not me she said she learned how far the metastases had gone and in that fall of 2022 the cancer spread further and she said no one is talking about a miracle
But there's some small part of her, I think, that hoped we would. We did try three different last-ditch efforts of various drugs to slow things down. What the doctors would do is ask for her consent at this point. In starting a new drug. And when the doctor said, are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to try yet another treatment?

And she said, she really yelled, yes, yes, you've given up on me. I think she didn't want to give up. And yet at the same time, she did want to grapple with it.

I mean, you know, she was 13 and then 14. We obviously disagreed about things. I mean, before things really took an extremely dark turn and she was still trying to go to school, one day she emerged from her room and told me very proudly that instead of doing any schoolwork at all, she had watched every single Marvel movie back to back to back to catch herself up on the entire Marvel series again.

And I should feel extremely proud that she had reached this accomplishment. And I was a little nonplussed, you know. She was very annoyed that I didn't see this as the remarkable achievement of, you know, she'd barely slept. She'd read none of her assignments. And all she had done was catch herself up entirely and knew absolutely everything now about Marvel there was to know.

She had this ability to do this. You know, she did this, I used to say she had a Talmudic relationship with Harry Potter relationship. where she really started to read it against the grain and started to be very angry with Dumbledore for knowing all along that Harry would face the things he faced.

It's interesting, and she talked about this in her own bat mitzvah, that she struggled with Dumbledore as a savior character in the same way that she struggled with the idea of God, because in her hospital room, no deity showed up. And, you know, I think we all would argue, but I would try to make up with her immediately. I wouldn't go to bed angry. I would apologize faster than probably I should.

It was really challenged parenting, and it still does, because I didn't know how to discipline in this space properly. When all the rules seem to have been thrown out the window. I didn't know how to put limits on things. How do you put limits on phone use when you have so little outside interaction?
