When Pain Persists
As a child, I never imagined that one day, I would suffer from chronic pain. I was an active kid, a teen who loved physical activity. I thought I would remain healthy forever, but sometimes, life takes a detour.

Hitchens is quite famous for his views against the existence of God. He is also currently battling a very lethal form of cancer. Cooper wondered if the disease had changed his beliefs at all.
