Elyssa Lindsay Anderson

"Are you okay on your feet, sweet sweet?"Mrs. Gallag-her, asked. "Do you need to hold on to me?""No, Ma'am, I'm good, I prom-ise." Seven-teen year old Elyssa Gallag-her smiled. "In fact, I feel extreme-ly strong on them."This was very true. After four years of being in a wheel-chair, as well as a plethora of proced-ures and physical therapy appoint-ments, Elyssa was finally able to walk again. As she and her wonder-ful and amazing mom left the physical therapy facility for the last time, Elyssa could not help but smile. After all, this was the best Memor-ial Day/ beginn-ing of summer gift that she could ever ask for!
