Very cool story and a great "palate cleanser" given the news lately. Good life lesson as well. Life isn't fair, but what are you going to do about it? This guy's response is inspiring. Talk about taking lemons and making lemonade .

wow...really cool.

no surprise that someone who needs to be that creative in every aspect of life would turn into a great engineer. I loved the spoon holder/swivel gadget.

Very inspiring video. As a parent, the shots of him as a baby were tough to watch, but it's great to see him (and his family) make the most out of life.
