This was on the local news last night. I think it was one of the Dr.'s they were interviewing that said she had an incredibly positive view of people and life as the only people she had ever met herself were loving, caring, and kind to her.

She was not supposed to live past puberty so it is a pretty amazing story.

It was hard for me to imagine that she endured all those years confined to that iron lung. It certainly made me keenly aware of how blessed I have been in this life.

Thanks for sharing the story with us this morning.
