An excerpt from Vicky''s story:

"As life moves on, sunshine is starting to peek through those clouds again. I have overcome four surgeries. The scars I have now are not because I'm damaged; they are trophies of what I’ve overcome. I am not ashamed of them; they are the story of my journey. I had to learn to trust people and depend on others, something that, if you know me, was very difficult. My son is engaged, and the wedding will be this year. I am looking forward to many grandchildren.

Trust in others. Be an inspiration. Share your story. Be the warrior that is inside of you for yourself andyour family. Find your JOY! Don’t let the clouds hide your rays of sunshine, and never forget to dance in the rain and stomp in the mud.
