Maine teen facing life with grace after paralyzing diving accident

In the summer of 2021, a diving accident left 16-yr-old Jack Weeks paralyzed from his chest down. The Gorham teen is now facing his new challenges with grace.

How hard can Life hit you, especially if you had your life ahead of you. At least he's not alone and has a good family around him.

I’d be making jokes about myself too. If I didn’t I wouldn’t survive myself.

[@222JohnRambo]

I hope the best for you !! I make sometime speech to people about never never never dive in water, even if you see or not on bottom.

It s great to see how parents take care of children when they re ill!in the same time it s sad to see how children rush to take their parents to a retirement house when they feel not in the mood to take care of them! Thank god for the gift of Islam;where parents are put on the head.

Why do so many boys and men feel the need to dive into water rather than just walking or jumping in? Americans, in particular, always seem to dive into water which we don’t see much in England.

That wife needs to shut up and stop interrupting her husband. Edit: Oh, they're divorced. I wonder why.
