Síntesis:
Contains reflections by musician and college professor Bruce H. Kramer, describing his experiences after being diagnosed with ALS, and personal essays from Minnesota journalist Cathy Wurzer, who covered his story for Minnesota Public Radio's "Morning Edition" radio show, while also dealing with her father's diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Kramer describes how by embracing his inevitable death, he was able to fully experience the rest of his life. Wurzer describes how a friendship developed through their broadcast conversations and how each learned what it means to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
