Viva Gonzalez-Bonnet was a direct contradiction to her namesake. Named the Spanish word for 'live' by her father, Viva's parents both desperately hoped that she would defeat the paradox. Born premature, the baby girl spent a month in the hospital, the doctors questioning each evening whether she would make it through the night. By some miracle, Viva woke each morning, answering the question of her own survival. But that was only the first time she defeated death.
The second case of bad news came when Viva was 13 and doctors told her she was genetically predisposed to cancer. Now, at eighteen and a high school graduate, she sets out to 13 locations across the world after studying their own traditions of death intending to find her funeral.

I'll Love You Till the End
So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.Complete
