Yes, it took 12 months for him to fully get back to "life" but based on how he is doing now, the only thing he really lost was a year. He picked right back up as soon as he could and the only difference is that he's wheeling through life :)Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841483032637664853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-32158675780514988022016-01-02T20:39:47.058-05:002016-01-02T20:39:47.058-05:00That is quite the story.

Dealing with adversity shows a person's true inner character. <br /><br />I don't think I would have been apt to say that I would have made the same choices. Every person doesn't know truly how they would react though until they are in that situation. <br /><br />Interesting post.<br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-83271993402707568842016-01-02T20:00:00.388-05:002016-01-02T20:00:00.388-05:00It all comes down to two things 1) passion 2) pers...It all comes down to two things 1) passion 2) perseverance, without those life would be mundane. I have learned a lot about those two things in the past year when learning to be an instructor and then as a new beginner instructor. I almost quit a few times, but it is my passion for riding that made me persevere. I believe the himan spirit has the capacity to rise above and acheive your goal if you work hard enough. To me a dream come true just means I worked hard for it and made it happen. <br /><br />Happy New Year!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-69496302292813550952016-01-02T15:12:26.005-05:002016-01-02T15:12:26.005-05:00That sounds a very inspirational man!
