Just seen Eddie Kidd on the telly taking over 7 weeks to complete a marathon after being told he would never walk again.

Eddie, you have my eyes leaking at your courage and total determination.

Thank you for giving me this timely shake that I was needing.

My returning swellings and pain and daily stuff is zilch compared to you and I have now given myself a thorough shake and thankful for the life that I have.

I doff my cap to you and everyone else that has the courage to overcome similar challenges in their life.
Carol

    Hi Carol

    Eddie is a wake up call isn't he? Such determination.

    My neighbours next door are a daily reminder to me to be so very grateful for what I have got.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Unbelievable. It's mindblowing how much guts it took for him to do it.
    Makes us feel very humble.
