She recalls bearing witness to her friend Sue’s experience — a friend younger than she but “already wise, cheeky, gentle, blonde, jaundiced, emaciated, full of life, and dying of cancer.” Shortly after Sue received her final fatal diagnosis, Lamott recounts the New Year’s Day phone call in which Sue gave her the news: I just listened for a long time; she went from crushed to defiant. “I have what everyone wants,” she said. “But no one would be willing to pay.” “What do you have?” “The two most important things. I got forced into loving myself. And I’m not afraid of dying anymore.” --Anne Lemott
