Acknowledgements

This book would not exist if I didn’t exist. And I wouldn’t exist without the contribution of many.

First of all, my daughter for giving me the reason to stay alive.

My wife for sacrificing much of her life for making that possible. 

My friends and family for always giving a helping hand when needed. And it is needed a lot. 

And, as always, Sonja Koistinen for encouraging me to write down my thoughts.  

I have also had many good nurses, but I have no room to list them all, so I mention just one. Sofia. You always went the extra mile to make sure all is well. The world needs more people like you.
