Inspiration from Aimee Copeland
“There’s a lot I don’t have that other people have, but there’s a lot I have that other people don’t have,” Aimee Copeland told Katie Couric on her new talkshow today. “I have different abilities.” I walked into my mother’s doctor’s office this afternoon and found the TV muted with the new Katie Couric show […]
