Thank you for sharing, still wiping the tears from my eyes. If there was ever a reminder to (try) enjoying the small, “mundane” moments of life every day it’s the part below.

“There was so much I still wanted to do. I fantasized about the smallest, most mundane things—waking up in bed, getting in my car, waiting at a red light, grabbing coffee, working. I wanted to do it all again, every day, forever and ever.”

Are you perhaps looking for the article "Alone and Adrift in the Atlantic," published in The Pacific?
