I found your post by way of the greatpoets community, hope you don't mind a random comment.

I mentioned reading "When Breath Becomes Air" to one of my coworkers, and she asked if I'd seen the lovely blog post where Paul's widow, Lucy, was surprised with a house makeover. You might like to see it, too: http://cupofjo.com/2016/03/lucy-kalanithi-home-tour-makeover/

Take care.

Not at all; thank you for your comment.

I've bought the book but not read past the first couple of chapters yet.

Thanks for the article; that was very nice of her sister...and obviously her sister knows her well, and Lucy appreciated it...I don't think I would've, in her place ;)
