I don't want to go. I still have lots of things that I would love to do. And I feel very grateful that I have had this time. I've had a wonderful life. I have no regrets.
When their kid is here with us, we have got them. We are going to do everything we can to take care of them and they can just be focused on being the parent. We will do the rest.
I think my parents did a fantastic job with it. I felt like a normal kid. I never really saw it as missing out on anything. I just saw it as this is my life. And that's okay. And it's different. That's cool.
“I tell my friends all the time that what I do is look through the front of the windshield; I don’t look in the rearview mirror. You know what this is: you have to see the obstacles in front of you, and you go through them; they’re speed bumps. Some are bigger potholes; some are bigger bumps. You know, you gotta slow down a little bit more, from that standpoint, but there’s no use looking in the back. What’s behind you is behind you, and then look forward.”
