The Ending of Gabby "A Story of Courage and Hope" By: Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly

Hi Guys,
I am just at the last part of this AMAZING book. It really is life a changing story. Each chapter has a great meaning in the title. If you look at the table of contents that could be the story. Starting from chapter one The beach, moving to Big Dreams, and coming across Baby Steps and even ending with Gabby's Voice makes it hard to believe that she has been through so much and has almost fully recovered. On the front of the book it is a picture of her and Mark (her husband) before the shooting. On the back it is her and Mark after the shooting. She looks like a new person but has the same sweet and engaging smile she always had. Katrina asked in my last blog post about her recovery. Her recovery was the hardest time in her life, in the book it describes every minute. She had many people surrounding her at all times. Even though it was so hard for her to talk and move during than and still today she always has great manners, and always is ready for a new task. Someday I would love to meet Gabby and tell her that her story and her are my true role models. If I were Gabby I dont think I could have done what she did and is doing. I really encourage you all to read it. Truly Truly Truly! You may even cry but I do not want to spoil any more. :) Hope you all are having a great week!

Gabby "A Story of Courage and Hope" By Gabrielle Giffords & Mark Kelly

Hi,

Over the break I went to Barnes and Noble and saw this book. I have always had it on my "books to read list", so i picked it up. The back of the book already told me it was going to be a great book. Right when I got home I started to read it. The first chapter is called "The Beach". It told us about Gabby and Marks life before this tragic event occurred. It also told about how Mark is a astronaut and that he was spouse to leave earth a few days after the shooting happened. Gabby always wanted him to do what he needed before anything was done for her. It showed that their relationship was so cute and they both were always happy. The second chapter talked about the day gabby and the nine year old girl got shot. This was a very sad chapter. Every word I read I kept thinking of this phrase: "You can be anywhere at the wrong place and at the wrong time". This is what happened to gabby and the nine year old girl. This book is really a life changing book. I have a gut feeling that the book is going to get better and better.  In Abby's blog post she described this book the same way I felt. This book is non fictional and life changing.  You all should really read it, I would be happy to let you borrow it. Have a great week! :)
