Manischewitz. That's Jewish for "holy shit."

Damn, well, Bryan is friggin' lucky as hell to have married you, as you seem like the perfect partner to navigate this craziness with.

I don't know if this was intentional, but the video freeze frame you shared blocks your pointer finger so it looks like you are giving the camera the middle finger. Which seems more than appropriate.

Regarding breathing songs -- you know I shared a playlist on this very topic only a couple months ago, right?

Here it is for your enjoyment. You have many overlaps.

Yes I read those posts! It was in your newsletter that I learned The Air That I Breathe is by The Hollies! For some reason in my brain I thought Air Supply sang it.

And thank you for reminding me about Breathe Again by Joy Oladokun. I *love* her and can’t believe I left out that song.

I'm determined to find a video clip of Air Supply performing a cover of 'The Air That I Breathe" now. It seems like it must exist.

Omg! You left out the quintessential Aughts one. breathe (2 am) by Anna Nalick. Pls add it ASAP because you don’t have anything better to do of course 😝

I’m so ashamed - that song is perfect!

I so rarely remember anything it feels. The fact that this one rose to the surface was a miracle. Hoping for a similar positive outcome for Brian’s speedy recovery.

This one on repeat was my Cancer playlist! Glad others have added it, and also that nobody died.

Another song for your list -- Breathe by Faith Hill.

Glad to hear Bryan is going to be OK. What a scary experience.

I'm hitting the "like" button to show support, but there wasn't much about this post I liked reading, except the last part where things are looking up. I'll have my candle lit this week praying for an easy week for you guys with lots of healing. 💜💜💜

Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik. A very 90s tune.

Scary times for you two. Enjoy as much of everything else as you can.

That's a deep cut! Extremely 90s and extremely good.

One of my lasting faves

I love this song! Fun fact: I saw Duncan Sheik play live in Asbury Park, New Jersey when he opened for Jars of Clay in the 90’s. AND we were at The Stone Pony where Springsteen got his start.
