A jogger collapsed in Central Park last month. His heart stopped and two women, both doctors, immediately began CPR. The strangers exchanged names; they were both named Flavia.

When I was young my mom always made pear pie for Thanksgiving dessert. I continued on with the tradition with my family. This morning I got a call from my daughter to confirm the type of pears she needed for her pie. And my niece is making it for her dinner. My legacy is assured.
