Life Well-Lived with Regina Topelson

Life Lessons from Koby Gruenwald and Brody Huber

Regina Topelson, RDN, CLT: Dietitian Nutritionist, Cancer Survivor, Health Champion Episode 42

This Thanksgiving episode is a little different in that I couldn't interview my guests, though I have thought of them often this year. This episode is about the life lessons I learned from two boys who had a lot in common though they didn't know each other. 

Koby Gruenwald and Brody Huber had more in common than having a dog, love of music, and a sense of humor. They shared the same birthday! And unfortunately, the same diagnosis. 

I wanted to share their stories in the hope that we could all take something from the lessons they taught us and create a ripple effect in their memory. The lessons they left us are to love all, to be kind, to laugh (and make others do so too), to be a light unto others, and to illuminate our family, friends, and community with joy.

These boys were truly a "light" unto those who knew them.
