(CNN) – U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords took a few steps into the House chamber and absorbed a 90-second standing ovation before the State of the Union address Tuesday night, the eve of her resignation to focus on recovering from her shooting last year.
Giffords, escorted by colleagues including her friend U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, smiled and waved as attendees stood and cheered, with some chanting "Gab-by! Gab-by!"

Giffords – a saint in disguise – she survived a tragedy for a reason – she will accomplish her mission!! Get "very well" soon!
She looked very happy, but with a undertone of sadness. Maybe because she was in the chamber for the last time?
Gabby get well so you can come back to Congress stronger and more focused. you have been amazing.
