How heartbreaking. :( I'm amazed by what people can rise up to accomplish after such tragedy. It's so easy to forget how lucky we are and how good we have it even when we know in the back of our minds that nothing is guaranteed. Videos and stories like this make me want to be a better mom and a better person and to make the world a better place. Good luck, Heather.

Well that had me in tears. Good luck.
