Recently, Michael Richards, who starred in Seinfeld, opened up about his battle with prostate cancer.
Richards said, “I thought, well, this is my time. I’m ready to go.”
He continued, “But then my son came to mind just a few seconds later and I heard myself saying, ‘I’ve got a 9-year-old and I’d like to be around for him. Is there any way I can get a little more life going?'”
He added, “It had to be contained quickly. I had to go for the full surgery. If I hadn’t, I probably would have been dead in about eight months.”
Richards continued, “I had over 40 journals I’d kept over the years and wanted to do a full review of my life. I’m turning 75, so maybe wanting to do that is something that comes with being my age. I wanted to connect with feelings and memory. I’m surprised at how much I was able to remember.”
Do you believe in redemption? Why or why not?
