But it is not something that I intend to stop working on in the remaining 18 months.

My late wife – she died of cancer. We tried everything we could do to save her. I wish that I could have done more and that I could have been with her at the moment she passed away. I couldn’t be in that room, because I knew it would be so devastating that I wouldn’t be able to take care of the kids after.
Every time one of my kids was born and I knew that they were healthy.
Losing one of my children, as there is no greater loss.
