I love the way you and Michael are coping as a couple with this health issue. I love that you and your Mother have created a new ritual to start the day as you recover. Best wishes for a smooth recovery.

How do you do it Fei - put a few chuckles and an elegantly human spin on what seemed like a grueling and doubt evoking process (with no thanks to the Canadian public health system 😭) welcome back :)

For me, your story reads like a thriller. You took me along on the journey and, in an oddly comforting way, made me feel like I was with you. I’m thankful that you found the light within a harrowing process and are finding comfort in humor, beauty, and connection.

Such a beautiful, honest, and heartwarming account of the monumental journey you are going through! Thank you for sharing your story. I loved how you wove a compelling and soulful story, full of humour, love and compassion, despite the dark and painful source from whence it originated.

I don't know how you can write about such a heavy subject in a way that sounds almost... lively?! It sounds odd to say I like reading your story when the story is about surgery. Hope you recover soon!
