I would have made different choices. You know, I might have married somebody else.

You don't have to be perfect you just have to be open.

Whenever anyone pulls out of the race, you know, unless they've just been trounced in the days before, there's also - always a lot of questions about why that happened.

Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before.

To be perfectly frank, there is an odd place after losing a child, where you think somehow your life is worth less.
