Slow Going

1/29/2018

 
It took time to get through all of her college notebooks. Once the first scribble on a piece of scrap paper dropped out, it was all-stop to read and reminisce. In 2015 after the hardware in Madison's neck wore a hole in the back of her throat, she was robbed of normalcy yet again for another semester, couldn't swallow, and had some extreme new scaring. During her recovery she was laser-focused like a Jr High School kid going to a dance but focused on a big zit... that's all they see in the mirror. Madison worried about her scars, then got past it. She wrote: 

 "I feel the most beautiful when I make people laugh. I feel beautiful when I am giving.
 I have a beautiful body. I won't ever say 'even with scars' because they are a testimony of strength. There's nothing to qualify.
 I am my own favorite song that I'm just now learning the words to, but I want to sing to you until the song sticks"
