I wish Gabby well, and maybe one day she will be able to return to the political scene.

I really wanted to see this after hearing how powerfully she came across, just persevering to be there and do her bit.

Amazing, and really emotional. Thanks for posting.

Doesn't walk clearly yet and can speak pretty good but obviously not totally - what a brave lady!

about what happens to someone who goes through traumatic brain injury...

All changes, even the most longed for,
have their melancholy;
for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves
we must die to one life before we can enter another. – Anatole France
