Tori is a beautiful girl who is also recovering from a brain injury. I check her website everyday first thing in the morning. My heart goes out to her and all the families who have been touched by such tragedy. Ours and theirs journeys are so similar; you can only feel solidarity and empathy; and united somehow to all these people you have not even met before... like Sam and his family. I hope and pray that both Chris and Tori come out victorious from this fight.
