My god I can’t imagine staying calm when fully conscious of pretty much fatal injuries and the knowledge and sensation that my eye is out of my socket? That’s a superhero right there.

[dells]

I love how he has chosen to focus on the positive things that came out of his horrific accident, such as: I’ll never have s other bad day again in my life” because he has experienced the ultimate bad day already, so anything else will pale in comparison, so won’t be “bad”.

I think about his accident randomly every few weeks because it just gives me the chills… he’s so brave and positive, king

[sunnyb]

Oh Jeremy! I am so sorry that this happened to you! It's a miracle that you survived it, and even after this, have been able to see it as a life-affirming event, from which you've been able to put into perspective that which is truly important, and count your blessings. May whatever powers that be bless you for sparing your nephew from such suffering! <3

I have so very much respect and admiration for Jeremy!!! I also watched the full interview (on dateline or 20/20) outlining what exactly happened to him on that day in January of the awful accident; I am in complete awe of his strength and courage. He is one amazing and incredible human being beyond words! He is my hero!!! I don't know him on a personal level of course but I love him ❤ He is truly an inspiration to ALL of us!!
