The Silver Lining of One Amazing Dad's Cancer Diagnosis

PS: How old are you?

GC: I'm 45. So I'm definitely an overachiever. And after that third cancer diagnosis, I started to freak out about not making it because my doctors had a very frank conversation with me. They gave me a rough five-year survival rate of eight percent and that means that I won't make it to Emma's high school graduation.

So I grabbed a calendar and counted out how many days there were until she would graduate and wrote out enough napkin notes so that she would have a note every day until she graduated, whether I was here or not.
