Amazing Person

Betsy Bozhilov..........I hope you don't mind me putting your name out there like this :-)

You are truly the most amazing person I know. I am extremely lucky to know someone like you - you have strength and positive energy that I could only dream of having.


Betsy found out she had a tumor wrapped around her spine & she had to have an 8 hour surgery to remove the tumor. Since it was a spinal surgery, it was huge.
She can no longer walk but she does have feeling in her legs.
She cannot get to the bathroom on her own, she cannot sit up for long periods of time - BUT she has the best most upbeat attitude I've ever heard.
She was laughing non-stop (and I swear it has nothing to do with the pain pills, LOL), she was telling me stories, she was talking about how blessed she is, how happy she is, how she knows she is strong enough to overcome this obstacle.

It was such a humbling conversation for me & it made me cry - because it the opposite of how I would be. I would be miserable & throwing a pity party for myself.
Not Betsy, she wanted this to happen to her rather than a friend or family member - or even a student. She knew she could handle something this big and she knows she is going to come out of it perfectly fine.

She is amazing, and she is my friend.
