A 42-year-old man diagnosed with cancer chooses joy over bitterness as he raises his two-year-old son. He refuses to stay mad at the world, instead building positive memories each day despite the shock and unfairness of his diagnosis.

Chapters

That's part of where the hope comes in each day, trying to choose joy rather than to get stuck in the loop of what am I, what am I going to do before I die? Or, you know, those types of things and getting caught in that and not being mad at the world because, you know, for a while I was running the numbers and I was pretty pissed off because it's like, you know, the look at the probabilities and it's like, you know, one in a, you know, several million or millions. And you're just like, this is the worst lottery in the world. Why, why the hell does this happening to me out of the millions and millions and millions of people in the world? Why me? And why when I'm 42? And why when I, my son's 2, all those things that you can, you can be bitter about and angry about and try and just letting it go and just focusing on choosing joy every day, building memories with family.
