The other day I happened to hit a movie that had just barely started. It captured my interests and by the end I was crying. It started out by an 11 year old girl (Brooke Ellison) that was hit by a car and became quadripledic--a true biographical story. It shows issues with her family and community and how she eventually triumphed by going to Harvard (the whole while her mother was her nurse and aid). It was directed by Christopher Reeves and actually aired after his death. If you ever get the chance, watch it. When I did a little research on it I linked with Christopher Reeves but then happened to read his wife (Dana) died 17 months after Chris! She had lung cancer (from 2nd hand smoke). They left behind their young son (Will)--how tragic! But both the Reeves really were a great example of courage and dedication. Inspired me to want to be a bit better!
