"”no matter how dark it is here so I at the end yet in the moment felt that I have grown into the situation and understand that this is going to be a long fight. Without the support I have received from my family, I would never have taken me here in this process. They have been by my side from day one. For the enormous support from all possible sides I was first at the end realized the extent of, I feel a kind of gratitude. Feel honored and fortunate that so many people care. All this, greetings and tifon, the messages on social media and concern from all has been a great support when I have felt the weakest. Thank you. And an equally big thank you to all the professionals who have taken care of me. You are worth gold. Thanks!”

He was superglad and it feels very good, " says Jon Knuts."
