“It’s a mother-daughter story,” “My mother was dying of pancreatic cer. She was very, very ill — on a drip. My sister and I went into her and we found all these shoes. this box of brand new shoes she opened. She’d never worn the shoes, they were red high heels. We took into her room and said, ‘Mom these shoes. You never wore them.’ she actually sat up in bed and talked for half-a-day.

“Those shoes did something to we thought, ‘My gosh, the doctors wrong. She’s going to recover.’ The thing offered us hope, and we kept ‘You’re going to get up, and you’re to dance in those shoes,’ and we about it.
