Yannis Aerakis’ battle with cancer

Yannis Aerakis pointed out that, unfortunately, people can only truly appreciate something when they lose it: ‘I hope you are all well. These days have been difficult for me. Now that I’m feeling a little better, I wanted to share some thoughts with you. I was thinking as I was going through some difficulties that the things that are ultimately most valuable in life are the things that we often think are insignificant, and don’t pay as much attention to. From how you go to sleep to where you wake up. From a text message to a walk. From what you eat. Everything matters. The people you have around you. Many things we don’t value until we lose them and life brings them to us in a hard way that I don’t wish on anyone. If you have the opportunity to smile, grab it and do it every day. Don’t take anything for granted.”

In the same message, he also spoke about the difficulties his treatment may bring, noting: “Also, from tomorrow I start not being very well. We don’t know how this is going to go, hopefully we’ll make it here, we’ll do some thongs, we might not make it.”
