In August 2025, I had four strokes within one month. I was facing only four weeks to live without a major life-saving surgery. I lost myself trying to wrap my head around everything. I lost 25 percent of my brain; however, I'm trying to adjust to my new life, learning how to talk all over again, learning how to write all over again. I could barely remember things from my past. In October, I found out I have blood cancer and bone cancer, and my life then flipped upside down. The financial toll is hard, but with my faith and spiritual beliefs, I am still holding on. I need to give all the flowers to my beautiful wife because I could've given up months ago. Giving up is not an option!
