I'm often very relaxed when I'm on the wire.
I've trained all my life not to be distracted by distractions.
I've seen the video played over and over, and it replays in my head constantly. To be able to walk in his exact footsteps is an extremely huge honor, and I did this for him as much as I did it for my family to get some closure too.
I'm often very relaxed when I'm on the wire. There may be some tears because this is a dream of mine.
