A nice tribute to a truly great person. One of wonderful courage and determination that is all to rare in this world. Though it is rare, it does exist everywhere you turn. They don't get to be Olympic champions nor do they get into the Hall of Fame, but they are out there. They never say, "I can't." It reminds me of something I wrote along those lines that could have been better written, but I think I will dig it out and post it on OurEcho anyway. Thanks for bringing this wonderful woman to our attention.
