It's hard to believe that only a year ago Beth was a junior in high school, a dancer, and in all uncertain terms living her best life as she prepared for college and a future as a professional dancer. But on a day that seemed like any other day at the beginning of her senior year, her life crashed into what turned out to be the biggest moment of loss she had ever experienced in her 17 years of life. Waking up in the hospital trying to remember what it was that got her there, wondering where her mom is and trying to piece together the loss. It is in the midst of recovery that in one fatal swing what started in the accident came to a gripping halt as her head hit the ground. Unfortunately, it was at the hands of someone who should have been her protector that she finally lost her ability to hear. But in her loss, she is able to reconnect and work towards her purpose, being a dancer. The most beautiful thing that she shared with her mother was their love for dance. She had already dedicated her childhood to it and as she was fighting for her life the one focus that she had was making sure that she, at some point in the very near future, after fighting through all of the obstacles she would be able to use other means of hearing in order to dance. This is a beautiful and emotional story that deals with domestic situations that have the potential to stop us from achieving our dreams but if we really focus on what's most important in front of us, we will always leave what's behind us in the rearview mirror. This is a story of resilience, recovery, and the bond between mother and daughter who lived to indulge in dance.
