She was nearly assassinated nine years ago.
Giffords didn’t disappoint.
But confronted by despair I’ve summoned hope.
Confronted by paralysis and aphasia, I responded with grit and determination" (viaYouTube).
I found one word, and then I found another.
My recovery is a daily fight, but fighting makes me stronger.
Words once came easily today I struggle to speak.
But I have not lost my voice.
Gabby Giffords, simply put, is an inspiration unrivaled.
