Korva rescues the ideas worth keeping from podcasts. Each one becomes a Card.
Gary avoided asking what Mac wanted at the end. He feared the question would sound like giving up.
Paralyzed from the chest down, Mac used his remaining fingers to play harmonica. Amazing Grace was an early piece.
In early 2023, Mac taught himself harmonica and finished Resurrection and Revival two weeks before his death.
After ten days in intensive care, Mac began recording messages about death after doctors told him his body was failing.
Gary regretted not asking whether Mac was afraid, yet Mac could barely speak and died the next day.
After Mac died, Gary found messages, videos, and late-night recordings Mac made from his hospital bed at home.
Continuing Mac’s music kept him psychologically present for Gary and gave Gary a living connection to his son.
Gary understood cancer was paralyzing Mac, yet remained the fighting father searching for drugs, doctors, and another option.
Time does not heal grief. People learn to carry its wounds more skillfully as the years pass.
Grieving families need more than sympathy. Remind them they are not alone and make sure their loved ones are remembered.
You cannot know your remaining capabilities in advance. Sometimes action is the only way to discover them.
