Lottery winner's 'time bomb' fear

my article is found from BBC tittle
The story is told about a19 million (eur) lottery winner who was a doorman said his joy was overshadowed by aortic aneurism. His aortic aneurism is swelling everday and maybe birst anytime. Before doctors can operate, he sill has to wait until the swelling grows. He said he would swap the money for his health. Now he has nothing want to do but spend time with his family.

I have to say health is most important thing than others. If we are a health person, we can keep to make money and do lot of things we want. But when we are illness (or somebody we love), it is hard for us to notice other thing. In Taiwan, there is a classical example about these situation. The richest man in Taiwan,his wife and brother got very heavy sick ,so he spent nermous money trying to cuer their life. But in the end, he still failed. Both of them died. After that he looked so lonely and sorrow athough he has lot of money. So, in my opion, I think health is more inportant than wealth. Just image if you are ill , no mater how life colorful is, there won't be any meaning for you.
