Sam, so glad to learn about your story and I love your cut through the bullshit approach to sharing you and your story. Your artwork and you are beautiful (your son’s pretty darn handsome too…good job!).

What a story! You’re a great writer in addition to an artist! and a mom! My DH has had 2 heart attacks. Total of 6 stents. Much less of a problem than yours – I didn’t realize how scared he must have been. This last time, when he came out of the surgery his first words were “am I alive?” And…. I think perhaps I’ll pay more attention to what I’ve been treating with OTC acid reducers!

Can you stop making me cry! My goodness, glitter is falling all over me now! Even though I only virtually know you, I absolutely adore you and your thought process! I really believe that the art we make allows other people to connect with us in a completely different way, so thank you for sharing it. What an inspirational story… Time to create!

What an important milestone to celebrate! And what a story… so true that we don’t take the time to take care of ourselves, and that it should be our number one priority. My Dad never got a second chance. And I lost him when I was 29 and just starting to mend a raged relationship with him. Since that day 15 years ago, I have focused so much more on letting go of the little shit and living in the moment. I forget some days (ok, often) but a gentle reminder always comes along and puts me back in focus.

Love the art series, and love your blog. So glad you are here to share it with us!

Thank you so much for sharing this post. It really has made me think. My mother in particular got heart failure just under two years ago, and is on the slow road to recovery. She has started knitting and a sort of meditation to keep her calm and destressed. We don’t live in the same country but since this happened I try to talk to her more often on the phone and to visit as often as I can, as I know time is precious. I think I will forward this post on to her, I think she can relate a lot to what you went through.
And your art is amazing.
