Joie de VIVre

Being a corporate finance lawyer, playing ice hockey, and seeing my 4-month-old daughter's smile each morning, which reminds me daily why I love being a mother.

VIV Moment

A couple of weeks before my dad died of lung cancer at age 57, he turned to me and said that he thought he was the luckiest man alive. Since he knew he was very close to dying, I couldn’t comprehend how he could possibly feel this way. He told me that he felt more loved at that time and during his illness than most people feel in their whole lives.

Those words and that moment have stuck with me since then. I discovered how important it is to love and be loved, and how fortunate I am to have people in my life, who I love and who love me. It made me realize that love is strong enough to make someone who is dying feel lucky.
