”When you take in consideration that we all die at one point and that tomorrow is not given, you see things in a new perspective. You become more selective with your time.”

Thank you for creating this well written and thought-provoking post Lavi. With the dawning of each new day, I hope and pray you will continue to find strength and hope for persevering in your struggle against sickness.
