We Will Figure It Out

"Bad things happen to good people all the time, and it's all right." My wife Christine told me that once during the last months of her life. But what do you do when something bad happens to the person you love? In 2000, my wife Christine was diagnosed with a brain tumor. What followed was a seventeen-year journey filled with surgeries, conventional treatments, alternative treatments, setbacks, victories, hope, heartbreak, and a determination to keep moving forward. But this is not a book about cancer. It is a love story that happens to include one. Through years of uncertainty, Christine refused to let a diagnosis define her. She remained a devoted wife, loving mother, loyal friend, and the heart of our family. Together, we raised three sons, celebrated life's milestones, traveled, had fun, and continued building a life worth living despite the challenges we faced. Told with honesty, humor, and deep affection, We Will Figure It Out is a tribute to Christine's courage and the belief that carried her through every obstacle: There is always hope. Kindness always matters. We will figure it out. Whether you are facing illness, caring for someone you love, facing difficult life challenges of your own, or simply looking for an inspiring true story, this memoir is a reminder that even in life's most difficult moments, we can find strength, purpose, and reasons to keep moving forward. This book is proof that Christine was right — and a reminder that the people we love never really leave us.
