I think it's time to have a celebration of life and renew our vows. And this time we're going to write the vows because they're going to mean a lot more. We certainly put the 'in sickness and in health' vow to the test the last year and half.
The elephant in the room has always been simulator sickness and disorientation. That's one of the biggest challenges.
As an adult, it's hard for me to remember my mother before her sickness. But if I go back into childhood, I can access that.
I don't take myself seriously, and I think the ones that do, there's some sickness with people like that.
I was afraid to admit feeling ill because even when I was 4 or 5, I knew that my father viewed sickness as a sign of weakness, of sin, of disobedience.
I didn't want to be one of those people who was resentful. The moment you start saying to people that their lives must be miserable because they're sick, you give their sickness value over them.
I worked as a janitor in Canada for nine months. It's during that time when I experienced extreme homesickness.
'The Blair Witch Project' is great for motion sickness. The first time you see it, it is extremely creepy. The first time I saw it, I saw it on a bootleg tape on a tour bus before it had even come out. It was one of the first movies I'd seen like that. I didn't even realize it was a damn movie!
I knew I needed to move away when I was 15, but when I got to Norwich, I spent nights crying myself to sleep with homesickness. For any young kid moving away from home, that is the biggest thing you have to deal with.
I made a vow to Chris when we married that I'd love him and I'd be with him in sickness and in health and I did OK with that.
