My latest life-saving operation and ICU admission reminds me once again that tomorrow is never a given. My wife, daughter and I had a heartbreaking last goodbye conversation together and that wasn't easy. But, I'm still here, not sure for how long as my medical issues are complex and my body has been through a lot. When you’ve said goodbye and somehow get the chance to say hello again, you realise just how precious being here really is.
