I’m writing in you today because this may be the last day I ever write in you with my pencil. Life has been amazing so far, I have no concerns, but I would have loved to live a little longer. This disease, this nasty, volatile, and horrifying disease is eating me from the inside. I expect to live a week with these conditions and within that week, I only have limited amount of time to spend with my loved ones. Most of the time goes towards Chemotherapy and I hate it, not only is it painful, but it is also not helping. My life was going great, I had a beautiful wife and kid. Ann Thomson, the love of my life since high school, I can’t explain anything about her. No word can describe her, we loved each other more than anything and she had promised me that she would never leave me if anything happened.

There was no day that I would not thank God for giving me everything, I had everything I needed in life. Life was going on great, driving across the states had given me plenty of money and most of the time, I had to stay up nights mostly, but in the end it was all worth it.

    This essay appeals to the reader 's emotions, especially if the reader has cancer, or has someone close to them in their life who is battling cancer. I thought the author’s attitude was appropriate when discussing her life, and she presented her claim in a unique way. She put a new view into the reader’s mind of how to cope with cancer, and how to become a new person because of your disease. She concludes the memoir stating how she is bald again, and dreams of having her long, wavy hair back, but for now she will focus on her new hair tattoo. I think this is a perfect representation of how to cope with cancer, and how to transform into a new person for the better because of
