So I have to say, every time I walk into an interview, I have a perspective about what it's going to be like and the type of conversation.
As you know, I prep a lot in terms of questions and I do a lot of research and I think about questions I'm going to ask and where the conversation is going to go.
I think that is maybe the most emotional and powerful interview that we've had on the show.
And to hear from her in her words the incredible thing that she's been going through and is still going through was just – I don't know.

It's not guaranteed that it's even going to be the same for you tomorrow as it is today.
And Mishi being someone who is young and energetic and a striver and doing great things, I think it's more typical that we think of someone experiencing medical challenges when they're older in life or kind of a different phase.
And for her to go through what she and Mark have gone through, for both of them to have gone through that at this phase of life, as you said, it really does redefine just how fragile and special and precious each day is.
