In such moments we can give in to hopelessness, but Ellen's story inspires hope that others can make it through their own battle and remain positive. It's a story full of love, disappointment, and challenges overcome.
This true story will make you tear up and smile. Life is endlessly complex, during its course we question why things happen to us. But we must remain hopeful and grateful that we can embrace the true meaning of these life lessons.
