At First Glance

AT FIRST GLANCE At first glance I was laughing at the news story, a chimp with the name of my ex, rips the face off of a lady and almost a year later the former owner of the chimp dies But as I watched the story unfold, I was overwhelmed by the power of the human spirit, what endurance and capacity for strength it holds that is so often left untapped. The injured lady did lose her face her eyesight, both of her hands and she now lives in an assisted living village. Also sounds like she's still on a respirator, by her labored breathing. Yet she still has the room in her heart to forgive the private owner of the chimp and join society without a face, to attend her daughter's graduation. The strength of her character, her will to move on with her life and her bravery is captivating to me. My heart goes out to this woman and my prayers go out to her too. My hopes are that society embraces this beautiful woman and treats her with the compassion she is so worthy of.
