It happens. Three days after my younger brother's 43rd birthday, he died instantly from a heart attack. Five years later, my friend lost his inspiring fight with rheumatoid arthritis, Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia. He was 53. Two years after that, another good friend had a massive stoke at age 59. Thankfully he survived.
These dramatic and traumatic events changed my life. I have always spent time with my family and God, but instead of dedicating every spare minute to my passion of dentistry, I decided to devote those spare minutes to my other passions, travel and photography, in an more concentrated effort to embrace life to the fullest. I wanted to be sure to make the most of whatever healthy life I had remaining. Then it happened to me. At age 58, I had a heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery. The idea of a montage of my photos paired with meaningful, heartfelt quotations propelled me forward, resulting in this book, "Embrace Life". It's my hope that it will help change your lifestyle before anything happens to you.
