The two articles

The article “Before I Go” is Paul Kalanithi explaining what he wants to do before he dies and he wants to live  long enough, so that his daughter will remember him. He is a neurosurgical training at Stanford University but he was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer. Paul says he started to get symptoms as the time went on. he enjoyed being in the OR because he knew what to do and when to do it. Paul also knew the strategies of what you should do as a surgeon. In the article “My Marriage didn’t end When I came a Widow” Lucy Kalanithi talks about how she was emotionally when he died. Lucy felt like she couldn’t live her life without him. Lucy and Paul met in 2003 as first-year medical students at Stanford University. They got married and 10 years after they met Paul’s health level had began to fall. They had planned to go to Portugal for their 20^th anniversary, where they spent their honeymoon but when they found out about Paul’s heath they immediately went.  Paul was getting weaker every day the chemotherapy was coming out of his skin, it was very painful and he couldn’t do what he wanted.  Paul started to write about training as a neurosurgeon and then learning that he had only a year or two to live, which led to a book proposal. They had a daughter named Cady and Paul wanted to spend his last with his family. Lucy couldn’t sleep very well without Paul and she always tried to sleep with the pillow that he died on to sleep better. One day she went out to where he was buried and rested next to him and got some sleep because she knew that he was laying right next to her. Lucy began to start moving on by taking her wedding ring off 6 months later she thinks it was time.
