It may be triggering to some. It shows the obstacles families overcome and is about abandonment. It shows the unconditional love between a mother and daughter.

It wasn't the prettiest, but to us, it was perfectly "imperfect".

Mein Leben war Studium genug und ich bin dankbar, mich freigeschwommen zu haben. Wir brauchen nicht viel zum wahren Glück!" (Ute Sedivy)

When I woke up, I was told I would never walk again or have full use of my hands.

That physical battle was harder than I could even begin to explain, but it doesn’t really come close to the one that I went through inside of myself over the years that followed.
