“That stuff is real, but I have not let it define me. Instead, for the vast majority of my years, I have been in what I can only describe as a full-on bear hug with the experience of living. Being alive has been doing life – not like a job but rather like a giant playground.”

There’s no final curtain here, just a quieter act – one shaped by honesty, love, and the enduring desire to live fully, even as the spotlight dims.
