One of the most touching stories I’ve read is one that’s stuck with me for several years: the story of Stewart Selman.

Selman was a regular guy, living life as we all do, expecting it to just keep unfolding as it always had.

Stewart made an unusual choice: he decided to create an audio diary for his family, memorializing his last days and reminiscing about their lives together. You can read more about this and listen to parts of Selman’s diary here.
