When Carol was diagnosed, her cancer had 21 to her bones. We calmly talked about what to expect. I reviewed choices for 22 and printed out new research. But 23 , I cried and struggled. Only half the patients are alive two years after diagnosis.
Carol began treatment afterwards. She felt almost 24 and went right back to work. Carol hates the idea of being 25 as a “sick” person. She likes her life 26 .

One of the young couples on the island wondered if we were sisters. We laughed. “Friends for 34 years,” I said. I could see by their 33 that they didn’t really understand that kind of time.

Cancer has become part of our 37 . We are well aware that our bodies are temporary gifts. Not knowing what comes next means 38 is possible. Perhaps I will be hit by a truck, or my heart will stop. Life is 39 .
We took our last dive of the trip. When we reached the deep blue water, we spread our arm out like wings and pretended to 40 .

One autumn morning 6 years ago, Johnson Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, life seemed unfair.
