By all outward appearances, he's adjusted to post-crash life well but inside he's wrestling with the guilt of living.The catastrophe that killed the Pittsburgh Titans changed my entire world.

But one thing is crystal clear-I've found a peace with Danica that I wasn't sure I'd ever have again. Now I need to find the confidence within myself to push past the insecurities and make sure she knows how important she is to me because if I don't, I'll lose the one thing that makes me truly complete.
