– The weeks we spent in the hospital are the scariest of my life so far, and it’s still hard to talk about it. I am really grateful to the Finnish medical care that we are both alive, Pehkonen says in the interview with Anna.

– I learned last year that there can always be absolutely terrible things waiting around the corner. I suddenly fell ill and was about to die. After that, I can no longer fear the future. I prefer to believe that good things can also be expected around the corner with just as much probability, says Pehkonen in an interview.
