Abstract

I’m a photographer who lives with his wife and our young son. I have multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, and my doctor told me that I have around three years left to live. But I’m not pessimistic. I’m satisfied with my life, though my wife is going through a lot, nursing me and taking care of our young boy. This book is a collection of love letters I’ve written to her—and it’s also my will.

People take photos and write letters because they want to convey something to others. That something might be feelings of gratitude, love, joy, or the surprise of discovering something amazing, or it could be feelings of uncertainty or loneliness.

I’ve been taking photos and writing letters to convey things to my wife and son. I’m not sure if I’ve succeeded, but I’m pretty happy with my life and enjoying it every day. So, okay, I’m going to start writing another letter now.
