I lay in the bed at the hospital and said, 'let's see what I have left.' And I could see, I could speak, I could think, I could read. I simply tabulated my blessings, and that gave me a start.
I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.
