Susan Kitazawa is an elder now and a grandmother, too. She enjoys making art, writing, advocating for community, and dancing Argentine tango.
She is legally blind and is living with a rare form of cancer in her bone marrow.
She is coming to understand more and more that our own attitude toward life might be one of the few things over which we may have control.
She hopes to encourage others to keep on keeping on, just as they do so often for her.
