This story is such a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
The quiet and tender ability to turn to the future and rebuild one’s life and home. The “old” beauty shows through. And a new hope floats across that dance floor. I can see the figures dancing in their beautiful gowns as they move to the music, grateful for a new season of peace. A powerful survival story.
