It's okay to laugh

When Purmort met Aaron-- a charismatic art director and comic-book nerd-- he made Nora laugh so hard she pulled a muscle. When Aaron was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, they refused to let it limit their love. They got engaged on Aaron's hospital bed and had a baby boy while he was on chemo. In the period that followed, Nora and Aaron packed fifty years of marriage into the three they got. The obituary they wrote during Aaron's hospice care revealing his true identity as Spider-Man touched the nation. Here Purmont gives her readers a love letter to life, in all its messy glory.
