“I'm just so blessed to have so many things to live for, brother.” I have a huge family, I have a 10-year-old daughter, [and] “I would have disappointed and really ruined a lot of people's lives if I had passed, and so there is a lot for me to improve on,” Renner replied.
“There was a lot to fight for and recovery was a two-way street for me.” “My recovery was a relief for me because I knew I could help my family, my daughter and everyone I really affected. could provide relief,” he said.
“I never thought about my own physical problems, my own pain or my own fears. I had to fight for so many things, so the road to recovery was a one-way street of my mental mindset, and that mindset was always to get better. There is no other option than this. And I still work every day in every way and thank God that I have a lot to fight for,” he added.
