“Why Me?”

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin

“Why Me?” That’s the thought that kept racing thru my mind 15 months ago from my hospital bed, tethered by IV tubes, pumps, and very serious medical conditions (cancer, kidney failure, etcetera). That mindset soon changed to: “Why NOT me,” and “Better me than you.” This beautiful morning is a gift. Enjoy it.

  2. Anytime I start feeling down about my health issues, I’ll walk through the Cleveland Clinic and look at all the folks far worse off than me….
    The fact that I’m still breathing/walking/talking is a gift I don’t take lightly.

  3. Only met you a few times, Fred, in your shop, but follow GMG and have seen your posts. Just wanted to let you know, I, and, I am sure, many others have silently/anonymously accompanied you along the way. You seem like a very strong, brave, funny and inspirational human being…just wanted to let you know.
