Growing up

I have a friend who I've known for almost ten years now. In the couple of years, she lost her mother, her father was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, she got married, and she lost nearly everything in Katrina. I just talked to her a few days ago about her upcoming trip to Denver before she goes back to work in MS. I am so impressed and proud of her. She has dealt with more things in the past year than many people with deal with in five. She did it with maturity, perseverance, and courage. She is a true champion and I'm happy to know her.
