"Sitting here, I'm not very well myself. Walking is a problem for me now, but I still have hope that I will recover. Sometimes I get up, and parts of my body are swollen. After some time, it goes down again. Like my hand is swollen now."

"I just keep asking God, 'You are the author of life. Whenever you feel it's time for me to go, just take me; don't let me bother the people who are around me."

"It is my belief that you will recover one day."
