"I've just decided I won't listen to the rules. How many people are walking around who have been told by a doctor, "Oh, I'm sorry, you've got six months to live"? It's just a hell of a lot harder than I'd thought it was going to be, but that's no excuse. You just have to keep going. I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love, there is joy, there is laughter." Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve is a man I admire. Who knew his inner (and physical) strength until his hardship. And I'm sure we don't know the half of it or his inner battles. Still, he is one to emulate.
