It's too easy to forget how fragile life can be.

I'm really sorry to hear about this, Mike, but I'm glad to hear that you're alive and apparently in good spirits, and I hope you have a full and quick recovery.

It's also very heartening to hear your boss and your coworkers are helping out. I feel certain that I would not be so lucky here in the States.

The best of luck to you. Hopefully you've used up all your bad luck now.
