There was definitely you know glimpses where he would smile and laugh and enjoy his time you know, hearing him tell her I love you or telling me I love you, it’s those little moments where he knows, he knew enough of who he was with that he could kind of create those moments. And I mean there were definitely hopes like the time we got him walking or he started eating on his own or talking like there is all these little moments that provided a little glimmer of hope and I don’t know it was, it was hard to see from my perspective I guess. Just because I didn’t see it very often. Like I was in my senior year and that was primarily the time where he was trying to work out of the coma and work out of the initial aftermath and then after that I moved to Canada so I was hardly seeing him at all so I didn’t get to share those moments. But I know they were there and I know, I know family saw them and people around Kevin got to see them.
