    These two, separately and together, are the most beautiful souls. Their spirit, faith and love for each other, as well as all the other human beings wandering the earth, is a force of nature. May they be together for many years and have all of God's blessings spilled upon them!

    Keep the faith, Suleika. I have a friend who was diagnosed with leukemia at 21. He had a bone marrow transplant and after taking many precautions with the help of his loving wife, he is alive and well today at 75 years of age. I wish you many happy, healthy years to look forward to with Jon.!

    What a wonderful relationship and marvelous interview between Suleika and Jon. No wonder why they were drawn to each other: she expresses herself thru writing words while he expresses himself thru writing music and they both value each other's creativity and feelings. Such joy and love comes through their words.

    The more I see Mr. Batiste the more I like him. All I knew of him before, was his entrance to the Late Night Show. But hearing and seeing the real him the more I like him. He and his beautiful wife deserve all the happiness in the world. Bless you both.

    There is a calm that pervades listening to and watching both Suleika Jaouad individually and Jon Batiste individually and it deepens, if that is possible, when they come together. I hope, almost in a way that should be relegated to one's own personal people, that this lovely woman and this lovely man sustain life and love for a long, beautiful, glorious time.
    My brightest light reaches out to you both.

    I read her book a while ago but I had no idea this was the Jon she talked about in the book. I loved the book and what a wonderful partner she has. Beautiful

    • @mysisterisafoodie

      Apparently it wasn’t Jon. It was her ex.

    • @1969madame
      @1969madame 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @My SisterIsAFoodie
      Did you read her book? Will is her ex, and she talks about him extensively in part one. In the second part of the book, she talks about having met Jon at band camp when they were teenagers; reconnecting with him after the breakup with Will; and the development of their relationship amidst her struggle to adjust to life after cancer. Of course, I don't know them, but I love this very special couple.

      I noticed that too. Can't really blame her. I've been staring and smiling at him (on my laptop,
      tablet, and phone) for months. LOL ❤ I think he is absolutely adorable. He's my new "crush." 😍

    I highly recommend her book. I had a friend getting intense cancer treatment at the time I read it, which made parts of the book hard to handle. But it gave me insight on the physical and mental toll cancer treatment has not just on the patient, but their loved ones. It helped guide me in my friend’s battle. She and Jon are true forces of nature, and I’m glad they found each other.

    • @Vickiak03

      I am currently reading her book and completely agree. I have been blown away by her writing style and candid insight into her journey. We need more people like Suleika and Jon in our world.
