And I love his philosophy that "nothing is going to stop me; nothing is going to get in my way." As he said, "Never say 'never'. Say, "I can do it." He reminds me of IDEAL-WAY's founder, Robert Pio Hajjar, who also emphasizes that we are to never give up. <br /><br />I agree that Julie's story is touching, and "clearly, their parents must have done something right"!
