Something Beautiful

A year ago yesterday, Gabby Giffords was shot in the head.  Last night, CBS news reminded viewers of her remarkable strides and the equally remarkable discoveries made about the brain and its capacity for repair because of her injury.

The brain is a beautiful thing, as is the courage of those who surface, small and large, from the icy stillness of trauma. 


Today I celebrate Gabby and Elizabeth and all the doctors, nurses, families, and friends who help them break the ice.
