I once dated a guy who, when in his early teens, was in an accident.
The driver and two other passengers died.
John was in a coma for 'bout 6mths.
When he woke he was paralyzed.
Because his body was not finished growing his growth was stunted.
He was told he would not walk again.
He proved them wrong.
He was up and at'em within a couple yrs.
Through mental and physical therapy he was able to continue his life.
He was a football star and had a promising career as such.
That was halted,but has had a successful lawn care business for the past 20 yrs or so.
I'm sure most of you know or know of someone who has been an inspiration,
Keep them in your mind, hearts and souls always.
