Roger Ebert hopes to be fully recovered in time for the Academy Awards and the Cannes Film Festival.

In a letter published Thursday in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic and co-host of the Ebert & Roeper TV show says he’s looking forward to getting back to work full time early next year.

“One thing I’ve discovered is that I love my job more than I thought I did, and I love my wife even more!” he wrote.

This guy has had more encounters with Cancer than most, and still endures. I do find it inspiring that he just keeps going. After his most recent surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland and later, emergency surgery less than a month later in July after a blood vessel burst.

Now with a new lease on life he is clinging to the things that gave him the most pleasure. Reviewing movies, and loving his wife.

Truly words to live by.
