Bernadette – What’s the best advice you have for others in your situation?

It’s try to live life.  I think that that is so important not to be sorry and not to walk around with our heads down, but to make the best of everything we can.  I think the most important change in Patrick’s life was when we took our first vacation after his injury, which was a full year.  He never thought we’d go to the beach, and we took him to the beach, and we took him in the ocean.  I think that it changed life for us, so we do it almost every year.  I think that’s a part of us living life, and we enjoy our holidays, and it’s a big thing.  Living life to me is really something that we try to do.
