So I step into the future, as bravely as I'm able, with my heart longing for a time I'll never see again.

The other day when we were reading The Little Mermaid again, at the part where it says that only human souls can go up to heaven and mermaids can't, you (Daria) said, 'See that's like Papa. He lives in heaven. With the angels'

The life is a wonderful thing. You have to appreciate it NOW... because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.

To come back on the ice was hard, and at the same time it was kind of a healing process.

I love that I have a job that I love.

So I step into the future, as bravely as I'm able, with my heart longing for a time I'll never see again.

Sometimes it bothers me that people now only recognize me because of tragedy. But I've come to understand that people really care and worry for me. I feel I should say to every person I meet, 'I'm fine. Daria's fine. Life goes on.'
