That's because her mission – whatever it may be – is not over!!! Please continue to get well Gaby – my prayers are with you!
God bless Rep. Giffords!
What a lovely, beautiful woman. I wish her and her family the very best!
I am so happy she is still improving. I know news will hit her hard when the shooting is fully explained tot her.
Godspeed to you Ms. Giffords. I sincerely hope you can be at the launch as you fight your way back to a full recovery.
