The worst news ever turned out to be an “absolute blessing� for Rob Ryan Sullivan. On his 48th birthday � on Feb. 18, 2015 � Sullivan received news from his doctor that he had lymphoma in the form of massive tumors on his heart and in his neck.

“We can learn a lot from young children and infants who are able to shift from agitation to amusement in a moment simply by having their needs met. Once crying newborns get fed, held, or changed, they don’t brood for another hour about how mad they are that it took so long for their caregivers to respond; they shift instantly. Unfortunately, we lose this ability and develop instead a habit of thinking and rationalizing our way through problems.”
