So I woke up covered in my own blood. It was crazy. It was fast. It was instant. There was no warning. I didn’t have any time to prepare for it. I was getting ready to go on a date with my wife, and the next thing you know, I was on the ground. I won’t get into specifics, but you can kind of see I’m still recovering. It made me really have a different outlook on life and how things go, what we do for ourselves, what we do for our family.

Bosh admitted that the experience forced him to slow down and reflect. Nothing in life is certain. It was not just about health. It was about priorities, family, and daily decisions.
