Chasing Daylight: How forthcoming death transformed my life
I was blessed. I was
told I had three
months to live. On
May 24, 2005, Eugene
O?Kelly stepped into
his doctor?s office
with a full calendar
and a lifetime of
plans on his mind.
Six days later he
would resign as CEO
of KPMG. His
lifetime of plans
dwindled to 100
days, leaving him
just enough time to
say goodbye. Chasing
Daylight is
O?Kelly?s honest,
touching, and
ultimately
inspirational memoir
completed in the
three-and-a-half
months between his
diagnosis with brain
cancer and his death
in September 2005.
Its haunting yet
extraordinarily
hopeful voice
reminds us to
embrace the fragile,
fleeting moments of
our lives?the time
we have with our
family, our friends,
and even ourselves.
It is an eloquent
confirmation that
our lives and the
people in them are
temporary joys, but
the time we spend
enjoying them is
never lost. And if
we conquer our fears
even the fear of
facing the end of
our lives and
leaving behind those
we love?we can
conquer anything.
