Please Say It

Daniela during her recovery process:

Dr. Esquenazi didn't sugarcoat her situation.  "You will always miss your hands.  Nothing we do here will ever be like what you lost.  But you have a choice.  You can hide in a corner, or you can rise to the moment and do the best you can with what you have.  Your life will be what you do with it."

After her recovery, she finished medical school and returned to the same place she went for rehabilitation, as a doctor.  The staff describes her as having an unbelievable ability to wholeheartedly accept the present moment.  She never focuses on what was lost, and she never lets her injuries define her.
