Known as the Survivors' Tree, it's regenerated itself in five years and has been incorporated into the memorial. Susan Walton calls it her tree because she is one of those who lived through the bombing. Since the bombing, Walton has had 25 operations, and only two months ago, finally finished physical therapy. Throughout all this there have been serious doubts about whether Walton would ever walk again. Today she's back in school taking courses for a business degree.
Recovery comes in small steps.
And you should appreciate what you're given and do the best you can with what you've got. I mean, it's a choice. You know, you can sit there and feel sorry for yourself, or you can get up and go. And it's not very pretty to just sit there, so be happy with the small steps and it will develop into something big. Some of the rescue workers are still haunted by being unable to save people.
