When I started my business more than 17 years ago, everything had started off well. My schedule was filled with receptive clients. I traveled to exciting places, purchased a home, investment property, and enrollment my kids in a private school. My priority management with my wife, my kids, and my own personal life was all aligned. My life was much more than I had envisioned. It felt like a dream come true.

However, four years later, I unexpectedly crashed into dialysis. My life seemed to have changed tragically for the worse. My first treatment on dialysis I experienced excruciating, incomparable pain unlike anything I felt before. All I could do was resign myself to the fetal position as a close friend read the book of Psalms. As if the physical pain was not enough, my anguish was magnified when I was told my life expectancy on dialysis was three to five years. My mind and emotions were overwhelmed by many thoughts of uncertainty.
