Finding Strength in Adversity
Bethany Hamilton:

Tom Hamilton:

Bethany Hamilton:

Tom Hamilton:
You didn't lose everything Bethany, not even close. That shark didn't kill you, you're here, you're alive, you have your family.
Bethany Hamilton:

Tom Hamilton:

Tom Hamilton:
When the times right you'll know. You just have to listen.
Bethany Hamilton:
Listen for what?
Tom Hamilton:
For whatever comes next.
