TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you, Laura Rozo. It takes astounding courage and strength to confront such an aggressive, rare cancer and not tremble in fear or become overwhelmed by anxiety.
For that you’re the epitome of a fighter, survivor, hero and an inspiration. If only I had not hesitated to say a simple “hello,” then we could have laughed and cried and shared in our journeys through cancer together.
It’s a diagnosis no college student ever imagines, but in your words, we’re all dying, and some of us just need a harder push toward death to realize the true value of life.
You imparted such simple words of wisdom during your TEDxUNC talk, “Death is not a threat but the condition that maximizes my life.”
Rest in peace, Laura, to know that death is still not a threat to you because you have inspired us to live and maximize our own lives.
