To think that a year ago this week, this lovely woman was shot down in front of hundreds of people, along with the killing of innocent bystanders and supporters of her campaign. And to know she managed to survive a gunshot to the head is a miracle in itself.
Our city of Houston played a major role in her recovery, and continues to play a part in her rehabilitation. We've watched her recover month after month, releasing pictures in June and attending a joint session of congress in the fall. But it's this video that will make your heart melt. In it she says, "I don't remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice," Giffords said. "I will return, and we will work together for Arizona and this great country."
Congresswoman Giffords resigned yesterday afternoon.
