It's been a while since we've last posted here at Margins. My co-host Can has been busy with his startup Felt, and I ended up on an incredible startup/acquisition journey with a DTC intimate apparel company called Adore Me. That's right, Can is selling maps and I'm selling bras. That’s how we keep this newsletter free!

Today, I'm going to be writing about something a bit different than our usual content. My daughter, Samaya June Roy-Yang passed away on November 18th, 2023, exactly one year ago today.

She died from a condition called FIRES (Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome). It's a condition where someone with no prior history of seizures, after developing a fever, enters status epilepticus—prolonged or, essentially, non-stop seizures.

I've been needing to write about the whole journey for a while. For longtime readers, thank you again for spending time with us over the years and giving me the privilege of your inbox for something like this.
