Quotes by Lee Woodruff  (?)

“Maybe there weren't fairytales, or dreams didn't often really come true, but this moment felt very close. As close as it gets to perfect in an imperfect world.”
Lee Woodruff, Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress

“Your recovery is going to be painstaking, like the way the ants are building the tunnels, one grain at a time. But you will get there. I just know it.”
Lee Woodruff, In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing

“In those long-ago days I saw a daughter with a disability. Now I see a beautiful, engaging person with a different ability, one that has blessed her with extra gifts and special perceptions.”
Lee Woodruff , Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress

“Awful things happen to an awful lot of us & it's a happy moment when you start noticing some kind of payoff. Cancer survivors for ex, notice that they're breathing in a way other people don't. And because they are breathing they are grateful in a way a lot of people aren't. And grateful is a good place to wind up in life. It beats poor me.”
Betty Rollins

“Your recovery is going to be painstaking, like the way the ants are building the tunnels, one grain at a time. But you will get there. I just know it.”
Lee Woodruff, In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing

“Maybe there weren't fairytales, or dreams didn't often really come true, but this moment felt very close. As close as it gets to perfect in an imperfect world.”
