http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2013/06/09/boston_strong_how_11_survivors_of_the_Professional ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet, 32, tells PEOPLE, The fact that people truly believe Im going to dance again has been a big deal. Ive had studios from all over the country send pictures with little girls holding signs that say, We believe in you, Adrianne! That makes me believe it, especially in the hard moments.
Heather Abbott, 38, says, When I was in the hospital, Aviva Drescher, one of the Real Housewives of New York, came to visit. She has a prosthetic leg, and it looked just like a real leg. It had veins and a birthmark. Seeing her and speaking to her helped me feel better about what kind of choices I have. It helped me see that some things in life wouldnt have to change that much. That was a big deal.
After the Boston Bombings: Survivors Speak Out
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20706243,00.html
Among the most grievously hurt were Marc Fucarile, 34, of Stoneham, Mass., and Roseann Sdoia, 45, of Boston, who are featured in the issue and exclusive PEOPLE videos.
Stranded when the last available ambulances raced past them, the pair were thrown in the back of a police van to be rushed to the hospital.
As the vehicle hurtled through the streets of Boston, Fucarile, whose right leg was blown off, drifted in and out of consciousness. "I thought I was going to die," says the father of a son, Gavin, 5.

(87,493 posts)I would have missed the article in People if you had not made me aware of it.
I took the magazine to work, thinking that I would read it at lunch. However I started to cry, I had to take it home to read.
Not because they were sad stories, they were in fact inspiring. It was the strength of there collective spirits a mere 7 weeks after the event, that made me cry.
They have comes so very far, in such a short time!
Love Conquers Hate, Joey McIntyre said that well~
