    It’s too bad your time with her was so short, but also fantastic how in that little bit of time she was able to make such a big impact on your life.

    • I had just missed asking her out to dinner the night she passed away. Hearing about it the next morning in my best friends living room, it was like a vacuum sucking every last part of me out of my body. I had bought her the most beautiful necklace for a Christmas gift, which was only 10 days away. I still have it locked away in a personal safe in…read more

    The power of breathing is truly amazing. I was dealing with some high stress a few years ago. I had rememebered someone recommending me a few meditation podcasts a few years prior to that. I decided to give them a try and found they were really helpful. I was pretty sure it was the slow deep inhales and exhales that were making all the difference.…read more

    • Pete, I’m so happy my letter reminded you of skills that have been helpful in your life! My therapist introduced me to breathing as a coping mechanism, but yoga taught me all the amazing techniques, would definitely recommend if you’re interested!

    As fellow a perfectionist I can see a lot of my former self in your letter. At one point I was pushing myself so hard to complete a project at work that I was putting in 18 hour days and working on the weekends even though I was only paid for 35 hours a week. Eventually ended up at the doctor as a result of chest pains. Luckily I was just stressed…read more

  • What I learned from you Kris

    Kris:
    I read the letter you wrote for the unsealed the day it was posted. While your diagnosis saddened me, your approach to your battle inspired me. Far too many people worry about the bills and other life stresses and take the time they have left on earth for granted. They put off doing the things that make them happy and spending time with the…read more

  • Passionate or Toxic Relationship?

    You said things would be different this time. I had faith in you and I really believed it this time. I guess sometimes it’s easy to fool yourself. You feel like you’ve put so much time into a relationship so you don’t want to feel like it’s all been wasted and so you stay even though you think it might be better to walk away. Some people say the…read more

  • Buying a ticket for the subway

    The first time I was taking the subway in New York City on my own I was a little intimidated. It was only the 3rd time in my life I had been to New York. I wasn’t fully comfortable walking the streets let alone taking the subway. Growing up I had seen so many movies where people were mugged or pick pocketed on the sub way. I remembered there w…read more

    • Wow, the line where you said “quite often people look at what makes others different from them rather than what makes us the same.” I wish the world was better where we all can come into a union by thinking like this. the world would be so much different than it is right now. People today love to put others in categories. Your letter is amazing!

    A sponteous trip to the city

    When I was younger, I was a huge David Letterman fan. I remember watching his morning show before I left for my summer job. I loved his sense of humor and the crazy things they did on the show. So, I was disappointed when the show was canceled.

    A couple years later, he returned to the air with Late Night with David Letterman. It was on so late.…read more

    • I’m glad that you were able to get to have a great trip with your daughter. I mean you can’t get as close as you were to letterman than outside of the theater he performed in. Atleast you perfomed with Bill Murray. I agree with you on never let anyone stop you from doing something that is important to you. I feel that no one should stop you fro…read more

  • Thanks for the replies to my letter Kayjah and Roger. I hope that through writing my letter that spread Terry’s story to others that may have never heard about him. I think it is cool that Roger had already heard about him. I hope that maybe someone will read it and be inspired to push through when encountering something that seems overwhelming…read more

  • A true hero

    To Terry Fox:

    A lot of people outside of Canada probably don’t know who you are but you are a hero me to many Canadians. I remember I first heard about you and your Marathon of Hope in the spring of 1980 when I was 14 years old. You were just 21 and had lost a leg to cancer when you were 18. Despite having only 1 leg you set out to run across C…read more

    • Wow. Terry sounded like an amazing and caring person. Terry may have not been able to finish his run here on earth but i assure you he is finishing his marathon in heaven. Do not beat yourself up Pete, you were 14 when you were at a stage of fear. We live and we learn and thats what you did. Im proud of your growth, continue to be brave and fearless.

    • Pete,

      Not only did I know about Terry, I actually shared a post on my Facebook about literally just Friday afternoon. I’ve had the opportunity to visit Canada several times visiting both Toronto and Montreal in my late teens. I still want to visit Halifax and see the memorial to the victims of the Titanic disaster.

      It is so incredible what…read more

  • A road not taken yet

    My childhood dream was to grow up and be a comedian. It all started when I was in the eighth grade when I had to give a book report in front of the whole class. I was nervous about getting up and speaking in front of the entire class. I was about halfway through my presentation, and I said something that was accidentally funny. The whole class…read more

    I remember the first time I read about the promise you made Brian. I think what he wanted was to ensure you were happy. The way he treated you was the way he felt was the best way he could make you happy so that is what he hoped you would find with someone else. Maybe a part of him hoped you would look and not find someone and come back to him.…read more

He is probably just waiting until i feel so tortured that I will appreciate that person to no end. And I do think you are right. I do think on some level he was hoping I would one day come to him.

  • BigStudBundy responded to a letter 11 months, 1 week ago

    I struggled for quite a while after losing my mother. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer many years prior to succumbing to it. When first diagnosed she entered a trial study and it was under control for years. When the trail ended, she was so excited to find out she was in the test group and he cancer was under control. About a year latter…read more

    • I am so sorry for what you and your mother went through. But you are so right, focusing on the happy times makes everything a little easier. Also, you can feel gratitude for having so many happy times. With my grandfather, I always think about how he called me his little athlete because he knew I got my athletic talent from him. With Brian, I…read more
