Notable Quote

"Every day since all that happened, I still think I might die today... It's that dance with death every day. Today I feel better, now I've got this pain, what does that mean? I am still here. I did not die from carbon monoxide, like many people do... But you are going to die, because we're all going to die. And it really is just a matter of when."
