“When I think about something happening in my life that seems too much to bear at the time, itu0026#39;s so easy to forget that there are so many wonderful human beings that live through and even thrive with situations I could never even imagine. It helped remind me to always keep things in perspective and to be grateful for what I have. Courage, tenacity, willingness, open mindedness, integrity, acceptance, love and never, ever giving up is so readily shown by those willing to share their life in this documentary. We are all deserving of everything we desire, no matter what our circumstances.”
