A scar simply means...

No, Lydia never lost her hair or had radiation and chemo treatments.  No, we cannot imagine what it is to go through and fight cancer.  

Yes, this story is still inspiring to all people.  Yes, this story can help girls with or without scars.  Yes, this story is about beauty within.

I hope that Lydia will someday know how beautiful she is inside and out.  I hope she knows that her scars saved her life and gave her life.  I hope she can see the beauty in the world.

"Every scar tells a story, every bald head, every dark circle, every prosthetic limb, and every reflection in a mirror that you might not recognize anymore. Look deeper than skin, hair, nails, and lips. You are who you are in your bones. That is where you have the potential to shine the brightest from. It is where your true beautiful self lives." ~Clara Bowen
