- A condolence card mistakenly sent to the author was delivered to his wife's address during the same week he underwent further treatment for advanced kidney cancer.
- The reason the neighbor believed the author was deceased remains unknown, but she might have had memory or cognitive issues or simply gotten her wires crossed.
- The author, diagnosed six years ago, planned to confirm he is alive by driving past her house and resisted a Halloween-style prank to highlight the error.
- He suggests sending the neighbor a thank-you text acknowledging her kind note, saying he's doing well and appreciating the thought despite the confusion.
- This incident highlights how loving statements are often shared only after death and suggests that the author's fight with cancer continues alongside his ongoing presence.
