You’re a warrior, and you’re stronger than anything life throws your way." -Brooke Davis "It's my mission to share this with the world and to let them know that there is life on the other side of those dark times that seem so hopeless and helpless. I want to show the world that there is life—surprising, wonderful and unexpected life after diagnosis." -Demi Lovato (This quote is my favorite, it hits hard because that is my mission too) "I understand your pain.
