CHICAGO â The world is full of extraordinary people with extraordinary gifts. For one inspirational Army veteran, losing one ability helped her discover an extraordinary gift.
It was a military training accident and then a 2009 stroke that left veteran Babette Peyton paralyzed on the left side of her body.
âI don t walk right now at all, said Peyton. I m not able to walk.â
At the time, she thought life was over.
âI wrote my obituary. I wanted them to know who I was, a few things that I had accomplished. Because I read so many things about people, you never knew their life unless you knew them,â she said. âIf somebody didnât know them, they would think they didn t do nothing with their life.â
