Thanks for sharing shawzfun, you did great! There's a lot of things you said that could relate to when it comes to making bad decisions, etc and my accident. It's definitely a good thing you're doing so keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to when I can do speeches too!

... I told him that parenting a child doesent need to come down to what you can practically do for that child..... it comes down to giving love...nurturing....guiding....providing a safe home and emotional stability.....A kiss...a smile....a hug....praise...encouraging your child to be and become everything that he/she can be in life....encouraging independence in thinking.

If you can give this your child....you can give them everything they will possibly need in life and all the life tools they will..all that and love...what more can any parent offer or any child want...and who are you to deny some little person this amazing gift.

The practicalities of changing nappies..feeding.....getting dressed....will not define you as a parent...this you can get help with.....and remember that anything worth having in this life is never easy worked for but the ultimate goal/reward is worth all the work in the world.

Keep your dreams and work for them....A spinal cord injury may make it harder but then its all the more worth achieving.....

I am after all an idealist but im a practical problem solver too and i will find solutions to most things because i have vision and determination......keep your dreams, hopes and ambitions...you have the power to make them real.....

WONDERFULLY SAID LARA .... 100% agree

I was brought up by parents who both had full function and able bodied and yet didnt know how to give affection or praise....i missed and needed both and this defined my childhood not the fact that i had everything practically done for me when i couldnt do it myself. ...

(OMG .how true for me too !)
